Paph lemianum 'Heavy Metal' x Paph lemianum 'Perfect Circle' I got this plant from Tim Culbertson at Oceanside Orchid Nursery. This is a vigorous plant. It has 3 new growths while on its first blooming. But I have noticed to sustain the 3 new growths, it needs consistent high amount of water...

Most of my roth, eachy, Roth hybrid, and mutifloral hybrids are under phrag level light. Which is around 180-230ppfd for me. They get 12 to 14 hrs a day and there are no burn damage.

I am willing to do an experiment. I have some hainanese seedlings that I can grow side by and side do some measurements for you if you want :) I have to repot my compot and will be doing a substrate comparison between my regular orchid bark + potting soil + perlite vs rockwool. I am also do...

I was wondering if it was a glaucophyllum too, but didn't want to offend any vendor. I thought glaucophyllum's dorsal petal just have striations and a white edge, rather than pink dots. I will love the flower, but I will let Tim know that maybe he needs to investigate since it could be...

So More Paph blooms this fall! Paph Saint's Within (rothschildianum x philippinense). This is a division I received from a member in this forum around summer this year. It is still recovering slowly as its roots are still getting established. But it is quite a beauty. The flowers are...

He is a phenomenal grower! love the greenhouse too. I am going to go visit him soon and probably acquire the rest of the paphs he is willing to sell :) I actually sent the Paph Katrina and the P. Primulinum for judging this month :) Who knows. I am more excited about the P. Harold Koopowitz...

I feel like it is a big plant, but it's also because there are many growths. The green color changes from lighter to a deeper lime/dull green. It could also be the lighting.

So More Paph blooms this fall! Paph Sander's Pride (Paph stonei x sanderianum). I have been babying this plant for almost 2 years, consistent watering and fertilization. It has extremely robust root growth that has wrapped close to 70% of the pot and still growing. Originally the plant had...

I actually saw and read your article Peter. And it is inspiring! Because my goal is to one day grow and hobby breed orchids in my basement :) This forum is invaluable! it has taught me so many new tricks on how to growth my orchids better.

Just simply stunning How do you get your phrags to bloom? Mine just keep growing bigger leaves and more new growths. It even has the flower sheath leave signaling it can bloom, but no flower spike, just more new growths. The new growth's leaves are twice the size of its first growth. I...

The color is insane! The dorsal petal can be rounder, but I personally love the flower shape and how frilly it is. But that is because I have a bias against big round bulldog hybrids. If this is its first bloom, then I am sure the other 10 growths will do phenomenally when it blooms

Does anyone have contacts for Woodstream? I tried to reach out to them, but no reply all the time

I am curious on how much light does it get. Your paphs seems to get really deep green colors, while mine are usually slightly lighter

I grow my Phrags with my Multifloral paphs. 150 to 200 PPFD 10 to 13hrs a day. I have had consistent blooming in my multifloral Paphs. For the Phrag, I have been EXTREMELY unsuccessful with blooming them, despite constant watering and fertilization (20-20-20). While they grow ENORMOUS...

HI Rob I ordered a flask of Paphiopedilumvictoria-mariae 'Giant #1' x 'Giant #2', But I secretly want to order - a PaphiopedilumPetula's Sensation '#1' x rothschildianum 'PP Dark and a PaphiopedilumDelta Breeze x rothschildianum 'Mt Millais'. I am happy to split 50:50

Anyone want to do a split order? I am currently deciding between. But I can only choose 1 PaphiopedilumDelta Breeze x rothschildianum 'Mt Millais' PaphiopedilumOakes Ames= ciliolare 'Mindanao'x rothschildianum 'Mt Millais' FCC/RHS/AOS Paphiopedilumvictoria-mariae 'Giant #1' x 'Giant #2'...

I was talking to Xavier from SelectOrchid, they have routinely managed to get grow rothschildianum to maturity and bloom in 2 to 3 years, instead of the regular 5 to 7 years. I wonder if they can apply their method to sanderianum and make them grow 50% faster

I am about to repot mine because... well... over the past year that zygo. has been slowly dying and just not performing well. I think zygopetalum enjoy the same amount of water as paph, BUT, they need much coarser substrate. Because I use Paph substrate for my zygopetalum and it apparently...

if someone buys it I am willing to split it 50:50

Bud blasting have so many variables. This is what I wrote down in my journal so far. The most apparent one is lack of water will 100% lead to bud blasts. Paphs are more terrestrial than epiphytic, so keep it moist consistently. Roots can be dipped only on the surface of water for max of 1...
