It grows in shady, detritus-filled crevices in steep, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/inaturalist-open-data.s3.amazonaws.com\/photos\/405397994\/original.jpg\"\u003emoss-covered limestone cliffs\u003c\/a\u003e within evergreen, open subtropical forests. It is one of the smaller \u003cem\u003ePaphiopedilum\u003c\/em\u003e species. The plant reaches a leaf span of approximately 15 to 20 cm. The leaves are patterned in light and dark green, reddish on the underside (it is a shade-loving plant!), and appear rather droopy. In nature, they simply lie flat on the substrate and are not held as upright as those of other lady's slipper orchids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The highlight is undoubtedly the flowers. These are about 6 cm across, pure white to creamy white, with large, rounded petals and purple to dark red spots. It is also known as the \"egg-in-the-nest orchid.\" The specific epithet \"bellatulum\" means something like \"pretty\" or \"adorable.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIt grows easily on a windowsill, but in a terrarium, it can also be grown on a \"steep wall\" (i.e., attached to the back wall), just like in nature. However, it needs a cooler, somewhat drier winter dormancy period to flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e You will receive a flowering plant in a 9 cm pot. Some will have buds!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n","brand":"Jungle Leaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56319649874297,"sku":"Paph002","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/8389\/6953\/files\/Paphiopedilum-bellatulum-06.jpg?v=1764928907","url":"https:\/\/www.jungle-leaves.de\/en\/products\/paphiopedilum-bellatulum","provider":"Jungle Leaves","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
