Paphiopedilums originate from Southeast Asia, growing in shaded forest floors with consistent moisture. What makes this plant special is the dramatic slipper-shaped flower paired with patterned leaves that often show mottling or striping. The foliage is strap-like, medium green to mottled, and grows in a fan shape from the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"510\" data-end=\"908\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"510\" data-end=\"532\"\u003eLight requirements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"532\" data-end=\"535\"\u003ePlace Paphiopedilum ‘Petula Dramatically’ in an \u003cstrong data-start=\"583\" data-end=\"607\"\u003eeast or north window\u003c\/strong\u003e for gentle, consistent light, positioned at the window or within 1 to 2 feet.
