I have tried dickinsonianum and subtropicum (singchii), but more as an experiment. I am mainly sowing paphs. No germination yet.

Very nice! Anitum is a great species, hopefully there will be some left in situ for the next generations :( One of my motherplants is blooming in a month and I will try to make some seed and produce some flasks in the lab.

Nicely done! Good job.

Very nice! Like the NS.

I really like the color of the pouch!

I agree with Justin. Moist but no wet. The reason is that the roots die if they don´t get enough air in the rooting mix or even worse: leaf tissue will begin to rot (Erwinia). Air movement is another important point.

I am currently using fine seedling bark, perlite and sphagnum. Make sure not to keep them too wet at the beginning.

Not bad, but I would have expected a bigger dorsal. I like the white background of it tough.

I like Alford alot, especially by its broad petals and vigor of the plant.

@Trithor: I have noticed that rothschildianum was growing faster in the sowing flask without banana than in the replate flask with 60g/l banana. So i had to reduced the concentration of banana for this species. I noticed that not just in two or three flasks, but on pretty much all the roths I...

Thats a superb kolo on pic 10 in the background. Look at the color! Reminds me of 'Riopelle'.

Well, those plants are impressive and its a pleasure to see this species in bloom. Congrats!

P6668. Banana is not good for germination, but I didn't test that. Yes, you are right. But the seed that me and my friends produce is actually too good to be wasted in experiments. That's the reason why I only took 4 flasks so far.

I have not tried potato for Paphs. Only for Cypripedium.

Very special roth. People tend to only know the progenies of MM, Rex, Val etc. and forget the other interesting examples of this species. These roths with mahogany stripes on yellow ground are pretty rare. Here is another one (which I like even better except that the synsepal is bigger than the...

I doubt that. More likely 23-25cm.

Hi everyone! I did some testing. I always wondered if banana is really that important in the replate media. See by yourself: P. philippinense x P. rothschildianum (left with banana - right without) P. rothschildianum (left with banana - right without) The beakers stood next to each...

I really appreciate your offer, but not tranlienianum ;)

Sorry for the late reply. With reflector, 55cm over the highest leaf.

Looking good!
