The plant bloomed too much last year. You are not supposed to bloom it every year, it's not good. It is a standard practice to pluck the buds from C. goeringii.

And if you overwater it And if you overwater it, it will die very easily (because it has so little root to begin with).

It should not be difficult for you if you are Korean, the Japanese grammar is the same as Korean. You just have to learn the Chinese characters. The yellow one (volume 4 cover) is a Korean variety. It is the best yellow flower variety right now for C. goeringii. It is called Mochi zuki (望月) in...

yes, C. goeringii buds at the end of the summer/early fall (hot and humid summer) and the buds grow to about 3cm-5cm and then stops. It needs the winter (near freezing temp) to bloom. The flower stalk only elongate a month before blooming in the spring. So for more than 6 months of the year, the...

Yes, Cymbidium goeringii and Cymbidium kanran are native to China, Korea, and Japan. Korean and Japanese varieites are more hardy (just above freezing) but takes longer for the buds to develop than the Chinese varieties (both Korean and Japanese varieites require a more consistent low temp and...

Yes there is.

He told me that that was the last Paph parishii he had. Which I doubted that was the case. Usually, I am argumentative but because I didn't have a high expectation from Sam (from my past experience and other Canadian inner orchid circle friends and Canadian vendor experiences), I just insisted...

When I pointed it out, he insisted that the plant was fine. Does he think that I am stupid or what? This is not my first orchid. I do not care if Sam had problems with his growing conditions, as a customer, all I care about is if the plant is healthy or not (roots or no roots). But when a...

I am reading the Paph book by Braem, Baker & Baker and here it is: It grows in the Shan Plateau Region of Burma and the mountains of neighboring western and noterhn Thailand at 4100-4500 ft (1250-1370m). It is usually found on east-facking slopes where conditions are shady and light islow. It...

thank you, much is appreciated. Thank you for the confirmation about the pointers....yes, everyone I speak to and also here all said small pots (like a dendrobium). thanks

Cymbidium goeringii books-Just received the first volume from the series (green book cover, out of print, published in 2010), now I have all 4 books in this ongoing series. Currently, this series has 4 volumes (ongoing series from 2010 and publishes a new volume every 3-4 years), the latest...

I have a collection of the Brachy Paphiopedilums: Paph concolor, Paph niveum, and recently acquired Paph thainum. It's not hard. First, you have to find the smallest pot possible for them. The pot for both your Paph helenae and paph thainum are way too big. Both of my Paph concolor and Paph...

I don't have Cattleya walkeriana in my collection because I heard many horror stories about it (not be able to bloom it), so I really cannot comment. Yes, you should grab it if you see it for sale.

Thank you. Yeah, I don't know why it's rare in cultivation. Honestly, it's no different than the other Cattleya species in my collection, just have to make sure that the pot is bone dry between each watering (don't over water it).

This is how long it takes for the flower buds to develop and bloom, about 9 month (from budding to blooming). Flower buds will only emerge from a mature growth (growth that is 2 + years old). This species tests your patience and is very detail orientated (everything has to be done certain way...

As promised, my C. dormaniana just opened. This is a rescued plant. Took me 3 years to bloom it. The plant is still not in a good shape yet but I think it will be in a better shape in 2-3 years time.

Cattleya dormaniana- I received the plant rootless 3 years ago. This is a rescue plant and it took me 3 years to bloom it. This is the first bloom under my care. The plant is still not in a good shape yet. The plant is originally from Wakayama Orchid Nursery in Japan. C. dormaniana is rarely...

Cymbidium goeringii-Mid Oct 2021 buds check. The daily temperature (high/low) in Toronto is between 4C-15C......about 2 week time, it's time to bring Cymbidium goeringii indoor for the winter. I will start vernalization in mid Dec (0C-10C) until the flowers bloom. Since the buds emerged in early...

Paph thainum I believe belongs to the Brachy group ( same group as Paph niveum, Paph concolor ). I just got one this spring and I provide the same condition as Paph niveum and Paph concolor. In the summer time, warm temp, can water just approaching dryness. In the winter, my Paph niveum and paph...

I have the complete data from the Paph species book by Braems, Baker and Baker. Attached is the information from the book. Usually, these books are very good if you follow as closely as possible. However, since Paph parishii is difficult to grow, I just want to hear from growers who have...
