Yes, maybe linden !

Four years between two flowerings. The growth of emersonii is very slow as hangianum.
I don't have particular secret for emersonii.
I just have a special culture for paphiopedilum.
I use organic materials for substrate and fertilizer.
My substrate is :
- 3 part of 'chips of coco'
- 1 part of 'paillis de chanvre'
- 1 part of 'pouzzolane'
- 1 part of 'sphagnum'
I fertilize with organic fertilizers for citrus or tomatoes " bio "
I never use chemical treatments or synthetic fertilizers ; always " bio " !
It's special and I have good results.

Beautiful flowering ! Seems to me that you control very well the Paphiopedilum culture.
About your Coco chips: did you use the one sold for mulching ?

Whats your water? Do you make a tea out of the organic fert? Or do you just mix them on the media?
Good info. Thanks.

Yes, it's the coco for mulching !...I wash the coco with water.

I use the water of my town - PH 7.0 - I put the fertilizer on the surface of the compost once every 3 weeks :

I tested this fertilizer on a few plants for two years and the results proved good.

Beautiful emersonii. I have not seen one with such perfection in a long time. The fact it has the short stem points to the original emersonii and not the vietnamese strain.
