thanks...it is very similar to the Paph book I have (day time high temp) and the rainfal amount. For this species, in the winter time the temp in the night is cool/cold (with a huge diurnal difference, 15C), I think that's the challenge for me, will see if I can grow with my spring blooming...

I am reading Paph parishii growing chart from the book written by Braems, Baker, and Baker. Throughout the years, the daytime high is always above 20C (in early spring and summer, it goes up to 28C-31C during the day). I don't think it's a cooler grower. However, the night time low in the winter...

Yes, Paph dianthum's is also known as Paph parishii var. dianthum. However, I think Paph dianthum is a little bit easier than the true parishii. I know, Paph parishii is not an easy one. I also know that many Paph parishii are wildy collected from Thailand and the wildly collected ones are even...

ABAX: First, to order any East Asian Cymbidiums (C. ensifolium, C. sinesne, C. kanran, C. goeringii, and C. faberii), you must know the varietal name in Chinese (if you don't know how to pronounce it, it is okay, just keep the original tag with the actual varietal name written in Chinese...

Yes, I like the leaves too (C. goerngii "kourin"). When the new growth emerges in the spring, it is medium green, as the growth gets bigger, the leaves get darker and has a shine on the surface of the leaves. It is a very nice one. The leaf length is no longer than 25 cm which is the average...

I grow all my paph in medium bark mix (bark, charcoal, and perlite) in Toronto, Canada. All the paphs I have are bs or ls. The only time I will use small bark mix for paphs if they are ms or ss. I heard that it's difficult t grow Paphs in general in Florida except the Maudiae type Paphs...

Thank you. DrLeslieEe said that he has luck with it when he brings the temp down to 16C. I grow my Cymbidium goeringii in the basement room in the winter time for like 3 months but the temp must be between 0C-10C at all times to do vernalization (in order to bloom the buds every year). I think...

Thank you for the pointers. I will grow Paph parishii with my spring blooming Dendrobiums that gets 15C every night.

On the website, Paph Paradise says that he doesn't do anything special. He has a greenhouse, located in California, grown besides other multiflorous paphs. I live in Toronto, Canada, can only grow outdoor in the summer time. Many people I know rotted Paph parishii (if you can find one) over the...

Thank you. I managed to keep a medium seedling alive for 2-3 years before and rotted maybe 2 years from blooming. I got some very useful tips specifically for Paph parishii from DrLeslieEe since he has a collection himself. I also got some tips from some other menbers here, much is appreciated...

Thank you

I just received 3 very healthy Paphiopedilum parishii from Paph Paradise this morning, very happy with the qualitiy. It is known to be difficult to grow because it has weak genes. This will be my 3rd attempt to grow it since I started collecting orchids over 15 years ago. Paph parishii is rarely...

This is one of the Cattleya species you don't find often in cultivation. I don't know why, because it is actually quite easy to grow. I only managed to find 3 plants in Canada since I started growing orchids more than 15 years ago. So whenever I can find one, I just get it. One of the plants I...

there is a reason why you don't see them in North America and Europe. It is a mystery to pretty much everyone in the West, it's unfortunate, but that's the sad truth....

I get the Mix directly from Japan. I visit Japan once every 2 years pre-covid. I stock piled (all sizes). Unfortunately, the mix is not available in North America and Europe, believe me, I searched and searched for many many years. I realized that it's just the easiest to get them from Japan...

In the wild (nature), C. goeringii buds start to develop in end of July/early August and only flower the following spring. For nearly 9 months, the flower buds are covered by leaf litter so it is covered naturually. These shading techniques just to simulate what happens in nature. For non-green...

:)

C. goeringii basic colour (wild type) is green. Flower colour mutations occur and the Japanese has been collecting these types of C. goeringii for hundreds and hundreds of years (they have been over collected in Japan, so it is very rare to find a C. goeringii that has a coloured flower in...
