This rhizomatous geophyte is known for its striking pink flowers that resemble a slipper. The plant undergoes a dormancy period during the winter months.
Cypripedium acaule requires indirect bright light and moderate temperatures. It thrives in high humidity and should be kept evenly moist. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. The plant prefers a temperate climate and should be protected from extreme temperatures.
