If people like ''Extinction Rebellion'' had their way I would be burning right now! :D

Is that the one frequented by David Attenborough? If you get your information from him you might run into some problems.

Give me more than primary school level conjecture. I already know the hypothesis. There is no proof that ''back radiation'' from co2 is causing current warming. I already told you that was a fact. Posting videos won't change that I'm afraid.

There is precisely zero evidence of that. Firstly, there no proof that the ''change'' we are seeing now is permanent. (because it has happened before) and secondly, the definition of ''climate'' as used in this context (average weather over thirty years) is arbitrary and made up. Apart from...

I agree with the above comments. Add more fans, put slits in the sides of your pots or do whatever you need to make the potting mix dry out faster. (adding polystyrene helps regulate water holing capacity and paph roots love it. Especially the soft kind) That way you can water more often and...

It was re-mounted last year. Something it did not enjoy but had to be done due to the tree fern staring to rot. Now it's on a slab of pine bark which should last a decade or more..

I get rot on Phrag besseae leaves (not the new growth so much) from time to time. Whenever I see a sign of any kind of rot setting in I spray. I use whatever good systemic fungicide I can get my hands on. Chlorothalonil works very well and you can still get it on ebay. I was also able to but...

That's different again. Nice too. All these are obviously closely related

There is this but a different name. I like it. http://novataxa.blogspot.com/2017/04/paphiopedilum-notatisepalum.html

Yes I have been experimenting a bit but I still don't have many brachys large enough to go into their ''permanent'' pots. I have a multi-growth niveum which has only been repotted once and it's doing very nicely. The thaianums which came out of the flask 2 1/2 years ago are still in the same...

Yes definitely self it next year! I can't imagine this one showing up here. Great news on the neos! I wait with anticipation. I just bought a rather sickly division of a purple coloured neo on ebay. Way too expensive but the ''time to buy is when you see it''. If it survives and actually...

Wow Nice!

I don't know this one but I love it. Looks like one of the epiphytes like harpo as you say.

Yes all exactly the same. They are very easy

Well done naoki. I have one in bud at the moment too. What is the min temp it experiences? I would strongly suggest you remove the flower now and try to get a new growth start before the weather cools down. That yellow leaf is a warning sign that the plant is about to go backwards...be careful...

The Thai nurseries have crossed these 2 species for years and so trying to separate them using commercial plants would be next to pointless. The only way to do that properly would be using wild collected plants from both habitats, something I am almost sure Cribb would not have done going by his...

They need plenty of light (they can grow in full sun in the habitat) and they don't need much in the way of media to grow in. They normally grow on rocks with their roots in a little humus and forest rubbish so periodic drying is probably good. Temps should be about 10 to 20 winter and 15 to 30...

Sometimes you have to mount it - TO GET - nice roots.

I've never really quantified how long it takes for roots to deteriorate but I note than a mix which includes the CHC is more likely to have rotten roots in it than one which doesn't. The fact that outside, it seems to cause few if any problems points to the probability that water is not removed...

I have the flu at the moment so I smell and taste nothing!
