Hi All!!

[Justin]

I've been lurking around here for quite a while, and I've really enjoyed following all the discussion so thought I would post and join in...

Some of you may know me from the Slipper Orchid Forum. I live in Columbus, OH and I am an indoor under-lights paph grower. My main focus is P. rothschildianum.

Anyway, great community here, I look forward to talking with y'all!

Welcome, Justin! Many of us originally started at the SOF. I think you'll find this a better forum in many ways.

Were those your roths at the last COOS meeting? I didn't know they could be grown so successfully under lights! Welcome!

welcomed justin from upstate ny. I have a paph roth that clark wanted to part with and it's growing a little, but since you have the same sort of conditions I was wondering what you have yours potted in and how you grow it? thanks (I grow under lights)

I grow the mature plants under metal halide lamps, in a standard bark/perlite/charcoal mix. I use reverse osmosis water and fertilize liberally. I find they love the seasonal contrast of chilly ohio winters along with the humid summers...same as your conditions!

hmmm, (smile) we do have the same conditions, except unfortunately I don't have the metal halide lamps, r/o water or an adult plant! but, from what I've read I guess they like water, fertilizer, higher pH and warm temps
thanks,
