''Paphiopedilum rothschildianum'' prefers a warm to hot bright spot. Since it is usually found nearby water it enjoys a very high humidity. Light should be as bright as possible short of leaf burn, though the plants grow quite well in lower lights as well.

===Propagation===

{{edit-prop}}<!--- Type propagation info below this line, then delete this entire line -->

The flower has a green and red spotted petal, which attracts any [[parasitic]] [[flies]] in the area, because they think it is a crowd of [[aphids]] and they want to lay their eggs on it. As they try to lay the eggs, the flies brush against the stigma, releasing any previously collected [[pollen]], and then getting some more from the [[anther]].
