Thanks everybody. I struggled with this plant for years. Finally, I got mad and I repotted the last surviving, single growth and shoved it at the back of the bench where I sort of forgot about it. I guess I was already figuring it would die anyway. However, the neglect and dryness it experienced there is exactly what it wanted. When I "found" it a year or so later, it looked better than ever....and it was DRY! So, I repotted it into a net pot and hung it up at the front of the greenhouse. I have been very careful to let it dry thoroughly inbetween each watering, like I do for my Cattleyas. It has bloomed each year for me since then and it's been increasing in size, too. Although, it was slow to grow a good root system. Now, it's fully established in a 6" net pot and it's hanging 5' in front of a 48" exhaust fan. It's getting watered every 2 or 3 days (once a week during dull spells in the winter, when the exhaust fan is not running, of course). However, when I saw the buds, I guess I fussed a bit too much and probably watered it a day too soon, a little too often. 3 of the 4 buds rotted. Finally, even though it went against every fiber of my being, I forced myself to not water it, even when it looked dry....always waiting an extra day or two. That kept this last bud alive and the plant has many new starts coming up now, too. Man! This is a tricky species because it's needs go against everything we learn about other Paphs. It's getting pretty good light, too.....as for a Vanda (only about 50% shade).
