I don’t think so. The weather was still fairly cool when they were delivered and there were no signs of damage - the plants were beautiful and in great condition - came from Marilyn at Windy Hill. I felt sure it was something I had done incorrectly. What had me stumped, besides the fact that not...

Hi everyone, I took Roth’s advice and fertilized with 20-20-20 and at this point I’m no longer seeing additional damage. I noticed another new bud on it this evening. While I’ve been growing plants for 50+ years I’m fairly new to orchids and appreciate the input on this- definitely had me...

Beautiful! Love the pouch.

Thanks for the lead, Bob!

Looking for a division or a large seedling of emersonii. If anyone has one or knows of a source I’d appreciate it.

Beautiful! Love the coloring of the pouch. Does anyone know of a U.S. source? I’ve been on the lookout for one since I saw a picture on Hillsview’s site.

Thanks for the quick response! I didn’t realize a potassium deficiency would show up that quickly and to that extent - sorry to have damaged the plant but sounds like a fairly easy fix- and nothing contagious which I had feared.

Hi all, I acquired a couple of great Mexipediums several weeks ago. About a week ago, seemingly overnight, one developed some large areas of brownish-red discoloration on the top of a few leaves and the underneath has smaller, brown, dryish looking lesions. The top discoloration reminds me of...

Understood, Ray. Thinking about it from that point of view - have you seen any issues with there not being enough air:water ratio for the long-petaled types, e.g., caudatum, when planted in a Leca/Grodan mix? I started out with a 50/50 mix but have found myself with more of a 60/40, 70/30 mix...

Thanks, Heather. Yes, it’s most of the long petal types that I’ve been questioning using rock wool and Leca on. I’ve already transplanted a few into it- I’ll probably let them be unless I begin to see issues with them.

Hi all, as someone who is fairly new to Phrags I have a question about culture of those that I understand like it a bit on the drier side, e.g., caudatum, exstaminodium, etc. I have been moving all of my new acquisitions into plastic (Rand) pots with a mixture of Leca and Grodan cubes. Not S/H...

I’m interested as well.

Hi Tom, I’d like a two-pack. Sent you a pm.

Thanks for the welcome, Ray! I already have my eye on some of Hillsview’s plants but need to get the ones that arrived yesterday from Paph Paradise settled in first:). BTW, my Kelpak and K-lite arrived yesterday. Thanks!

Nice to meet you! Have you been growing paphs for very long? I see that you’ve been a member of the forum for a few years. Are there any Oregon nurseries that you particularly like for orchids? I’ve seen Hillsview mentioned a few times in the forum as having very nice plants…

Hi all, Just joined the forum this week. I’ve been growing Phalaenopsis for a while and have decided to try my hand at paphs since they’ve always been my favorite orchid. Looking forward to learning from everyone!
