Paphiopedilum lowii album is a rare, hard-to-find species. The story I've heard is the first form of this plant came from Sam Tsui. These are the 2nd generation of selective breeding done by Sam.
The flowers of Paphiopedilum lowii album are a visual delight, featuring broad, glossy, and light green dorsal sepals with subtle veining. The petals extend gracefully, displaying a more pronounced green, accented with fine, delicate white or cream markings. The signature slipper-shaped pouch is typically a soft, pale green, creating a serene and sophisticated appearance. This variant often has multiple blooms per spike, enhancing its decorative appeal.
Ideal for orchid enthusiasts who appreciate rare orchids with subtle yet striking features, Paphiopedilum lowii album thrives under specific care conditions. It prefers moderate lighting that mimics the dappled light of its natural forest understory habitat, alongside high humidity and a well-draining medium that remains consistently moist but not waterlogged.
