    LED lights and PAR w/ Paphs&Phrags

    This sounds like a great idea. Solves the spike dilemna and encourages symmetrical growth.

    LED lights and PAR w/ Paphs&Phrags

    Really appreciate all the information. Over the last few days I’ve slowly been coming to the realization that I have way more lighting than I need. I’ll be able to get hard data when my PAR meter shows up, but I’m pretty confident that I’m growing paphs under dendrobium or cattleya light levels...

    LED lights and PAR w/ Paphs&Phrags

    Duck - thanks for the thoughts. I hear you. The technical specs get mind-numbing pretty quick with LED. One significant advantage of fluorescent tubes is they lend themselves to stacking much more than your run of the mill hanging LED rectangle. If I had it to do over I might’ve gone with a...

    LED lights and PAR w/ Paphs&Phrags

    I know this won't apply to a lot of people who use good ole sunlight.... I tried searching this site but the search functions rejects "LED lights PAR" and most variations thereof. So apologies if this info is already on the site - I tried. I use LED's exclusively for now. I think they're...

    Question about a Roth Hybrid used in a Delrosi

    Thanks! Not exactly the news I was hoping for haha.... but at least now I know if it doesn't bloom that isn't necessarily an indication that I'm doing something wrong.

    Question about a Roth Hybrid used in a Delrosi

    Just got a 4 fan Delrosi that looks like it's never bloomed. Tag doesn't say which delenatii was used, but the Roth was "Rex." Anyone familiar with that one? Hopefully its not know for being a reluctant bloomer.... It needs to be repotted so I'm going to do that and give it some time in my...

    Brexit...and CITES???

    That is a very, very good question. I have zero insight unfortunately. It’s probably going to be a clusterf$ck across the board for a couple of years....

    Paphiopedilum delenatii

    If you’re looking for the best combination of price, looks and ease of growth, I’m not sure there is a better Paph out there.

    Paphiopedilum appletonianum

    Really nice. The short stem is a plus, I agree.

    Why are hybrids more vigorous anyway?

    Heterosis. Ah. That explains it. It also explains the liger. Thanks! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liger

    Why are hybrids more vigorous anyway?

    So I know from advice and experience that hybrids are generally easier to grow. I never wondered until recently exactly why that is. I know it has at least something to do with parents being chosen for both their aesthetics and their ease of growth. But if that's the only reason, it wouldn't...
