    Roth

    Very well grown. Looks like you don't really need a lot of light to flower a Roth. Good job.. I like the flower but I love a well grown Roth or any orchid for that matter.

    Light

    Hi Terryros, There is an app called PPFD meter for free. It is easy to download. If one has good sensor in your camera, this seems to work as reference. Maybe to those who have good meters , if possible can you guys compare the reading of this app to your precision meters? How off could it gets...

    Paph. adductum

    Interesting, I have seen selected adductums from wild and they were quite large. I have yet to see anitums from the wild. I'm afraid they are almost gone due to deforestation and illegal activities. But I will check on that soon. Thanks

    Paph. adductum

    Adductum are generally bigger than anitum. They have longer leaves. Anitum leaves tends to be wider but shorter and are also dark green. They grow shadier. My info is that adductum grows on top of two different soil structure. One that has serpentinite and the other has red soil most likely...

    Water quality

    Water quality

    Rain is good and free, just need to catch it. Make sure you don't have any metallic component that may contaminate the water. pH meter, a good one is very important. Check the website of your water supply and find the quality report. A TDS of 300- to 350 is good enough...the pH is normally...

    Paph philippinense

    Same here...very seldom I will use support to just a few that need it. Nutrition and proper light distribution will do the job...not as perfect as staking. Look at this, this could have been 3 feet tall.

    Paphiopedilum purpuratum

    I only see a single plant, does the plant that flowered before die before the next flowers? The reason I asked because I have one that regularly flowers but I could never make them to clump. Thanks

    Phragmipedium kovachii
