    What is the deal with paphiopedilum randsii?

    I have a hybrid of this plant that Sam gave me as a gift. It has grown quite slow but I just love how the plant looks. It hasnt bloomed. But back to my question.

    Sold My Paph tigrinum with 2 spikes for your BS sanderianum from Orchid Inn

    Also best of luck 👍. I wasn't trying to be judgmental because you do have a gorgeous plant. Just from experience from the last 2 years of collecting all the sanderianums I can it is a rough market. They are smaller than being advertised, not vigorous and not healthy which makes it a living...

    Sold My Paph tigrinum with 2 spikes for your BS sanderianum from Orchid Inn

    There is no way in hell you will get a blooming size sanderianum. I have looked everywhere and they are rare even for good money. One guy said $500 for a division of an ok one and backed out because he didn't want to divide it. Also if you buy one they will say BS but they are never. Also they...

    Phal gigantea brown spots

    Is this something to be worried about? On older leaves bur new ones seem to slowly develop it. Large plant 🪴

    Vanda coerulea supra

    This is my most expensive plant: size for $ ratio. It is tiny. What are the bets on how long it will take to bloom?

    Phrag. Xerophyticum 'April Fool' x self

    Gosh, how time flies. It seems like I just posted the first post yesterday: it's been two months. Here it is!!! I currently have two spikes and the other one is still developing the flower globes: potentially 3 flowers. This other spike that is shown below will have 5+ flowers: to me that is...

    Watering or soaking - whats best?

    I have done both methods. When you soak them and do not change the water in between plants there is a chance of infection. If you change the water on 20 plants that is a ton of water. I like to just water them and this way any salts can be washer off or anything that is not wanted. I do soak my...

    Orchids 2024

    I want a Paphiopedilum lowii so bad. I got one from Ecuagenera and it was such a traumatic experience with the plant I got scared 😱. I know I could grow one but just need to find a good one.

    Wanted Phragmipediums that bloom often?

    Maybe phragmipedium mexipedium. If you get the care right they seem to do super well.
