Paphiopedilum barbatum × gigantifolium is a striking hybrid that blends the richly striped burgundy blooms of barbatum with the massive, leathery foliage of gigantifolium, creating a bold slipper orchid with both elegance and presence. It thrives in bright, filtered light, intermediate temperatures (18–27°C), and moderate to high humidity (50–80%), preferring consistent moisture and excellent air circulation. Use a fine bark mix with perlite, keep the medium lightly moist, and provide a slight winter rest to encourage blooming
