    Paphiopedilum armeniacum and X micranthum

    I bought two plants of micranthum. When they flowered years later, they turned out to be two *******s like this.

    Therapeutic gardening in the time of corona

    I didn't know you could grow tree ferns in Japan. Is this one cold hardy?

    Wow that's a special one.

    Australia fire emergency

    It's not data Ray, it's mind farting. Like when historical temperature records are altered for various reasons and then used as the ''correct data'' and using this to make claims about records and predictions when in actual fact it is no longer data it is now garbage. The proper scientific way...

    P. armeniacum basket case!

    Outstanding. I have one in a bowl also with five new growths and 2 in bud. This species loves water! Do you keep it cold in winter? Interesting wire work by the way :eek:

    Brown dry leaf tip of Paphiopedilum micranthum

    Probably a bit of leaf tip rot at some stage. It seems ok now but if you are worried, cut past the damaged area with a razor blade and paint straight fungicide on the cut and let it dry. I do this now and then and it always works. I use chorothalonil. Your plant look quite good to me.

    I am very very worried about this finding! It sounds very scientific!

    Strange twisted leaves and ridges on Paph. Hung Sheng Bay

    Ok. Yes Roth was very good with info. I have read all his postings and I learned a lot from him.

    Yes that was Rick - lovely bloke but his ideas about K and Ca were mostly nonsense.

    Strange twisted leaves and ridges on Paph. Hung Sheng Bay

    Don't forget too that a calcium deficiency results in lack of root growth especially the tips and hence they are very inefficient at taking up certain elements. So you may be looking at this problem back to front. It is quite rare for a Ca definiency unless a very acid medium and there is no Ca...

    Strange twisted leaves and ridges on Paph. Hung Sheng Bay

    What makes you so sure? Have you had leaves analysed? I have had plants do this right next to others that are fine and all receiving exactly the same treatment. I have a plant doing it right now after it was repotted and before that it was it was normal. I have had plants recover from this with...

    From the CSIRO.. They go to say that ''there is a potential for fire activity to increase or decrease due to climate change''. Slowly the alarmists who cry hysterically that CC has lead to these fires will be dragged kicking and screaming into reality.

    Strange twisted leaves and ridges on Paph. Hung Sheng Bay

    Yep, this has nothing to do with calcium IMO. Usually lack of water uptake when the leaves are still very small. Lack of roots or not enough water/humidity as you say.

    Colour is ''form'' not variety. It cannot be anything else.

    I think that humans are capable of influencing local climate including humidity from forest removal and building cities etc. I believe that it is very difficult if not impossible to distinguish that ''footprint'' from the noise of natural variability. Same goes for co2. For example, the...

    Yes. That is called permanent natural habitat destruction due to human development. Fire is not in that category. The more severe the fire the longer it takes to re-establish, but re-establish it does. It is a process which has been going on forever and no doubt it has had a direct effect of the...

    Mr Ray is 100% correct. (apart from the need to argue the point). The argument that climate is to blame is pure political nonsense as illuminated in this excellent interview. Climate is just a set of statistics and has no power to do anything. Weather is the ruler.
