Paphiopedilum delanatii

[Ricky]

Here you can see the influence of a hight light level onto the color and lenght of the leaves. The new leaves in front are brighter and more yellow than usual and they are shorter than the older ones.
Anyway, the root growth is perfect.

Very nice clone. Nice, fat dorsal and good color.

Wish I could get my roots to grow like that. Nice plant.

 

[Ricky]

Wish I could bet my roots to grow like that.

I used CHC, charcoal and styrofoam for it. Looks like delanatii like this mix. All the roots you see (and much more) grow into the last 7 month.
