Paph. micranthum var. eburneum (guangxi)

[eggshells]

What's the difference between 3 blasts and one bloom? Consent water?
Beautiful clear dorsal, rarely seen.

Thanks it seems like the reason that they blasted is because I did my best (and different things) to stop blasting them.

This year, I left it alone. I continued watering it and never let it drying out. Didn't repot when it was in bud and didn't moved it to a cooler spot. It finally bloomed.

So I guess this is the plant telling me to leave it the hell alone.

Yup! I've read so many times to NEVER get water in the crown of a budding micranthum or armeniacum. I spray the foliage and get water in the crown of my plants practically every day. The buds just get wet, that's all. They don't blast. I think you've got the right idea now. When they're in bud, don't start making changes. Just keep on with whatever made the plant happy enough to produce a bud in the first place.

Well, if you fuss over a child enough they get squirrelly on you, so I guess plants are the same

Do you mind briefly going over your care?
What I'm most interested in is your winter day/night temperautres.
Also, do you grow this along with all your other parvis or cooler in the winter?

Sure, I grow everything the same whether its a parvi or a barbata. They are all inside one enclosure and they get all equal care. The lowest temps in winter is 17c-18c and the highest in the winter is no more than 23c. Summer is always higher. Max temps being around 28c-30c and lowest is about 25c. I would say they are more intermediate in temps. No winter rest and was treated the same all year long. I just un-pot it recently and I now have 2 more stolons roaming under the pot. So I carefully place the stolons above the substrate.

i love it! i have become a parvi fanatic! maybe it's because i'm located in the PNW and our weather suits them year round. i had one that i killed. i left it on my potting bench outside not thinking the sun would come out. it did and zapped it. same thing with my paph fanaticum
