I hope midwinter is over and spring is knocking at the door.....at least here.....but unfortunately this is only my wish.

I grow this one at the coolest spot next to the balcony door that I open to chill down to 10-12C fall/winter nights. They light bright 2500 fc lights. And hot summers.

My temp range seems good but the light is a surprice.
2.500 foot-candle of sunlight is about 500 PAR-PPFD (µmol/m^2.s) ; that is about 5 times the 90-100 PPFD I normally give my paphs... that's huge, wow

Hmmmm maybe that high… like cattleyas. But increase slowly until leaves are bright apple green.

Cute! I'm not too fond of the colored variety of this species but the album one really catches my eyes.
I still slap my head for not getting one or two from SVO a few years ago when they offered this at low price. Stupid me!!
