No, that is wrong. There are also japonicum without hairs.

Is japonicum or formosanum easier to grow? I'm in zone 6b/7a, so I believe I can grow both.

Also, I noticed that guttatum is zone 4 or lower; what do you do to keep your plants cool?

 

[Hakone]

USDA Zone 6b/7a you can grow both . In winter I cover the cypripediums with Plexiglas. I'm not a fan of pot culture, my cypripediums are planted outside in the garden . If it is not cold enough in the winter, guttatum does not flower.

Linus, you can grow both, but by far formosanum is the easier plant. It has a bit more trouble planted outside in areas that get late frosts since it likes to grow early, starting in April or even March depending on the warmth. It also is problematic in colder winter areas. I'd say in the eastern US it is optimised for zone 7, but could be grown from zones 6-8. On the other hand japonicum is better suited for colder winters (to zone 5 at least), but is much more finicky. Never let it dry out, not even a little. Both prefer a more organic soil compared to most Cyps.

No, that is wrong. There are also japonicum without hairs.

Your Cyps are looking nice Hakone.

I've not seen any of this variety, but it is recognized by the Japanese government as a true form. It was found in Ibaraki Prefecture just north of the Tokyo area.

Here is a link to the collection sheet for it and a couple photographs of models of plants. I can't find photos of live material though...

Interesteing in begginning of the year you said, I leift them up and give them a rest in pots, and not outside.
