The Cypripedium formosanum commonly known as the Taiwan Lady Slipper Orchid, is a rare and sought-after orchid that produces leafy stalks of pleated green foliage in spring, followed by elegant pink flowers.

Preferring a cool, shady spot away from the intensity of midday sun, this orchid thrives in well-drained soil. It is well-suited for container gardening, where it can be carefully managed to provide the right growing conditions.

During the growing season it enjoys consistent moisture, while drier conditions during winter months help it rest. Hardy and winter dormant, this orchid is a beautiful and low-maintenance addition to shaded garden areas or indoor collections.
