Paphiopedilum Lippewunder hybrid care

Do you like big slippers? Don't say "No"! I'm going to show you Paphiopedilum Lippewunder hybrid. It's an amazing Lady slipper orchid with a huge flower. A Paphiopedilum Lippewunder hybrid 's "shoe" is glossy, colorful and chic. I call this flower "the pirate who laugh" because its labellum resembles the smile of a sea robber. Please, look at the photo:

Flowers of this paphiopedilum are green-yellow with a big labellum and dark red stripes and patterns. Orchid sellers often publish this paphiopedilum's photos with a ruler that to show size of the phyto-slippers. Flowers of Paph. Lippewunder hybrid may reach 7,87 inches (20 centimetres)! I have taken photos of this orchid without a ruler. However the flower is a giant, indeed:

The orchid prefers bright diffuse light, humid air and room temperature. We must use soft and warm water for watering this flower. Also we have to protect it from draught. A right soil for this paphiopedilum is small chunks of bark. You may add coco chips to this soil as well.
