Water thoroughly when the potting medium is almost dry. Paphiopedilum gigantifolium prefers consistent moisture but dislikes soggy conditions. Use rainwater or distilled water to prevent mineral buildup.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler, less active periods. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Pruning is generally not required for Paphiopedilum gigantifolium unless removing dead or damaged leaves or spent flower spikes. Cut spent flower stalks at their base once blooming is finished.

Remove any yellowing or necrotic leaves close to the pseudobulb to maintain plant health and appearance.

Propagation is typically done by division during repotting. Wait until the plant has several healthy growths and has finished blooming.

Carefully separate the pseudobulbs, ensuring each division has at least 2-3 healthy pseudobulbs and roots. Allow the cut surfaces to dry before repotting.

Repot Paphiopedilum gigantifolium every 1-2 years, or when the potting medium begins to break down. Use a well-draining orchid mix, such as bark-based or sphagnum moss. Repot after flowering, preferably in spring.

Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the previous one.
