Ladyslipper -- Newbie

[JDawggie]

Hi all...so I purchased a Paphiopedilum (ladyslipper) today because I just thought it was too cool! One issue, I never grew one of these.

Currently, i have 6 Phals that are all doing well.

My question are:

1. Does there need to be a really large temp drop at night for these to survive...the inside of my home stays pretty warm! I don't think the temp in my home drop 10 degrees at night..

2. It seems from what i am reading that you can not let the roots dry out on these guys...

Any beginner tips would be helpful...sorry I probably should be searching from them! ha!

This is the first orchid I purchased that is not a Phal ...so I just want to be sure I know how to take care of it!

Thanks,
jared
