Thank you Happypaphy7! So I will water it more frequently and move it in an unheated room at night. Time will say! :cool: Sincerely, Sylvain

Thank you very much Happypaphy7 for this detailed answer. Yes I know that my indoor temperature, around 20°C night and day, might be at the origin of my problem, however I don't really have a cooler place for it, or else it might be really too cold (2 to 4°C at night). My potting mix is made...

Thank you for your answer GuRu. My problem is precisely that this is what I do every time, and every time the flowers abort. I water my plant once a week, I fertilize it every other week. It is at room temperature on the sill of one of my windows inside my house and for the first time, I placed...

Hi all, I have had this Paphiopedilum bellatulum for years, and had no problem with it except that it never flowered. Many times, it began spikes but each time they aborted. At the moment, there are 2 new buds, so what conditions should I give my plant at this stage to make it bloom? What...

Very nice display! How long do the flower last with this species?

Beautiful, thanks for showing them. How many weeks do the flowers last with this species?

Hi, what do you mean when you say "Per Ray"? Sorry, I am French and my English is not that good...

Incredible colour! What do you mean when you say that il requires a lot of work to get the right colour and that without the right techniques, the colour would be off? What do you do to obtain such a brillant colour?

Beautiful!

Nice flower, but aren't its leaves too yellowish?

Hi all, after your answers, I was curious to see what the pedigree of my plant, which I assume to be Paphiopedilum 'White Lady', might look like. So I did some research on the web to discover its ancestry and created some procedures in VBA with Excel to obtain easily a visual representation of...

Thank you very much, from what I can see on the internet, White Lady seems to be a very good candidate! :)

Thank you very much!

Hi all, I found this little guy in a garden center, a unknown hybrid of course but I like its big flower. Is it destined to remain without an identity or do you know it? Do you think there might be some Brachy in its parents? Thank you for your help.

Really a beauty, Popow seems to be a reference. Are they attentive to shipment, I mean, if temperatures are too low, do they delay it?

The same here in Europe Tony, I know only one source, fortunately a very serious person.

You're a lucky man to live where they grow David! :) I wish I could visit your country but it is so far from mine... T. ixioides is a wonderful species with all its dark dots, but unfortunately I have never seen it for sale here in Europe. But my holly grails are T. variegata, T. speciosa and...

Please see my growing tips above in this thread.

I lost some too in the past, you should try again!

For sure it is very difficult and long to get the peat wet again after such a long rest period, and it is the main reason why I would like to change their substrate next season. Moreover, when the peat is finally wet again, I am always afraid that the tubers will rot. So I will try akadama and...
