Cypripedium shanxiense culture

[Mafate]

Hello all,

Firstly, I wish you all a very happy new year!!! :clap::clap:

Can anyone give me some information about Cypripedium shanxiense culture? Is it easy to grow? (I mean for a Cyp of course! ) Does it need acidic soil or not? Is it fully hardy? Is it rain resistant during winter or should it be kept dry like tibeticum?

Any information and/or experience will be welcome.

Best regards,

Mafate

Not a problem,
Treat it like calceolus, grows for me without protection near the fasciolatums.
Have it in normal soil, and a little big oyster shell in the ground.
All like I do it for Calceolus.
In nature it often grows near Calceolos or the russian kind of macranthum.
Grows in Sibiria, so it should be fully hard.

Ok, thank you Dido.

All the best.
