Paph glaucophyllum 'P&R'

[emydura]

Currently flowering. I thought I was going to lose this plant. It was going backwards and I was down to a single growth. I put it in more shade and it seems to have stabilised. It is growing much better now. Would have been a shame to lose it as it is a nice clone.

A good save David. All Cochlo's need a lot of shades. Just like the kalinae.

Thats a lovely P. glaucophyllum - flower proportions and colouration are very good. You can be proud and lucky that you saved it!

Thanks Howard. I have the Kalinae sitting next to the glaucophyllum. So hopefully the light is right. I learnt the hard way with the Cochlo's. I lost another previously. I was struggling to grow them and everyone else was saying they were easy. A lot of shade as you say.

From my experience, unhappy cochlos are very slow growing and highly prone to scales. I'm still finding the correct spot for them in my collection. Unsure whether to put them with barbatas or multis.

I was growing them around my multis but moved them to an area with light closer to that for the barbatas. They seem to have preferred that.

Not for me!

I don't have them with my multis, nor in the shade, mine are in between, grow well & flower.
