I believe it would definitely benefit from having its roots covered up top and moist.

Beautiful!!

Orchid Inn has them in stock right now.

No problem Tom!

A reliable bloomer for me every year.

This one was from Orchid Inn. It’s venustum ‘pink wings’ x ‘flat wings’. Sam says both parents have 75% ‘fox catcher’ in their breeding.

Look at the red pouch on this one of mine!! It’s a stunner!

Nice!! I bet it’s a beauty!

That shouldn’t be a problem. North East Indian jungles are quite a bit hotter in the wet season.

tomBEE, check out the few posts I’ve made of a few venustum’s of mine this past month to see the results I get from keeping venustum’s on the wet side. I really went into detail on my care of them in the post I made a couple days ago of my venustum ‘fox catcher’ x self.

No problem at all. That’s what we are all here for.., to learn from each other. :)

Thank you Tom!

No problem at all Musa!! In the winter, the bedroom stays about 64-66 degrees day and night, and by the summer, it goes up to around 78-80 degrees day and night.

They need to be in an airy mixture of substrate, but one that is very very moist constantly. That’s what I’ve found with all my venustum’s by trial and error. Most of mine are in a mixture of 50% New Zealand sphagnum moss, 25% small orchiata bark, and 25%, #3 perlite, but I have venustum’s in a...

Probably keeping it too dry... my venustum’s did the same thing when I first started growing them, until I started keeping them wet all year.

Well.., that’s a risk I’m willing to take then. Pipe smoking is a dying art and a family tradition. I’ve been pipe smoking for 17 years and have been growing Orchid’s for 6 years now, and have been good so far... there’s never a time that I don’t have tobacco residue on my hands, and I handle my...

Beautiful veins in the pouch.

These are the results I get now from keeping my venustum’s almost wet.

Venustum’s seem to be the easiest of all my Paph’s, as well as my favorite. In my opinion, the are the “wildest”, most “uncharted” looking of all the Paph’s with the brain like pouch and snake skin pattern on the leaves of the truer wild strains. As for my conditions, I grow all my Orchid’s in...

That one I do not have, but man..., would I love too!!
