Paphiopedilum leucochilum

[Erythrone]

Is that from me? You have done very well with it. I am so glad

Yes, I got 2 plants from you, the 2 leucochilums I showed here in the last month.

Pretty amazing! I didn't even know that they could have two flowers at one time.
Congrats my friend :clap:

That's lovely. Congratulations!

Tips on growing. Mix etc?
leucos that originate in Thailand can be tough to grow in North American conditions.

Nice two flowered plant.
John,
I always had issues with the Brachy group until I took a lesson from the Thi's. In a repot demo, clay pots full of clay S/H balls topped with their "dirt". I use ProMix on top and water it in. All have done wonderful since.

Slipperking, I am curious about this repoting method... Can you tell me how thick is the layer of "dirt" on the top of the clay balls?

Good to know! Someone else validating this sort of approach. Doesn't sound traditional Paph-like growing conditions in North America, but whatever works!
I do have one leuco that I received in Promix with peanuts on the bottom. And it has grown very well. Wasn't sure if it was just luck or the best method. Now I know, I guess.
Peanuts versus clay balls on the bottom sounds about the same.

Just follow the photos. Some word are in Thai but photos are straight forward. It's tailored on their climate though. Not sure how the mix will perform in cold/damp or even intermediate environment.

Amazing quality on those plants. I LOVE that yellow venustum!! The rungs are fantastic too.
