The Paphiopedilum 'Black Jack' is a cultivar of the Paphiopedilum genus, often referred to as the slipper orchid due to its unique pouch-like lip. This particular variety is admired for its dramatic, dark, almost black flowers, which make it a standout among orchids.
Description: Paphiopedilum 'Black Jack' produces large, robust blooms that can be characterized by their deep maroon or dark burgundy petals and sepals, with a distinctive, glossy black pouch. The flowers are borne singly on an erect stem which contrasts strikingly with its leathery, green foliage. The plant itself is relatively compact, making it suitable for indoor cultivation.
Care Guide:
-
Light: This orchid thrives in moderate to low light conditions. Bright, indirect sunlight is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. A north or east-facing window covered with a sheer curtain is often perfect.
-
Watering: Paphiopedilum 'Black Jack' needs to be kept moist but not waterlogged. Water it when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering in the winter when the plant is not actively growing.
-
Temperature and Humidity: This orchid prefers temperatures between 15°C to 25°C. Avoid sudden temperature changes and cold drafts. High humidity, around 40-50%, is beneficial. You can increase humidity by placing the pot on a humidity tray or using a room humidifier.
-
Soil: Use a well-draining orchid mix, typically composed of bark, moss, and perlite. This ensures good aeration and drainage, crucial for the health of the orchid’s roots.
-
Feeding: Feed every two weeks during the growing season with a balanced orchid fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength. During the winter, reduce feeding to once a month.
-
Repotting: Repot every one to two years or when the potting mix begins to decompose. Repotting is best done in the spring just after the bloom cycle. Use a slightly larger pot to give the plant room to grow.
-
Pruning: Pruning is not typically necessary for Paphiopedilum orchids. Remove flower spikes with a sterile blade once they have died back to encourage new growth.
-
Flowering: This orchid usually flowers once a year. The blooms are long-lasting, often remaining attractive for up to two months. To encourage blooming, provide a slight drop in night temperatures during the late summer or early autumn.
Paphiopedilum 'Black Jack' is ideal for orchid enthusiasts who wish to cultivate something less common. Its stunning, dark blooms offer a dramatic touch to any collection, while its care requirements allow even beginners to grow it successfully with a bit of attention.
