Mark, I assume you are talking about a paphiopedilums. Is the moss you refer too, sphagnum moss? If so, when repotting your orchids (you did the right thing by...
I recontly bought 2 Stanhopea (I kow they're not paphs) and was told they bloom out of the bottom of the pot. They are potted in coconut husk. Do I add...
Your paph, henryanum, It's listed under Harrisianum. The Veitch Royal Nursery in Chelsea, England created Paphioprdilum Harrisianum (P. barbatton X P....
yes Will but I dont think I should re-pot again should I? Since I didn't wrap the plant in the moss before placing it in the pot? Wouldn't I risk shocking it...
Paph henryanum is a species somewhat new .... Harrisianum is a hybrid and is something all together different henryanum flowers on small plants ... they are...
I was discussing about paphiopedilums. Phals are another creature, therefore are treated differently. I don't know how Phals do in sphagnum moss. Yes, the...
Hi William I have a couple of stanhopeas and really like them. My experience with them has been limited, but here's what I know. They must be potted in a...
Jeff, thanks for the info on P.henryanum, not sure where the Harrisianum came into the discussion. ( if you cant grow Harrisianum, give up Paphs ) My...
This is a good question for my Paph. henryanum too. I've had it over a year and nothing! The Cash book says a mature fan can have as few as six leaves so in...

Hi all: I have a Paph Kolopakingii for a couple of years now with a leaf span of around 12 inches(1'). I was wondering how long this species takes to flower...
Kolopakingii take about 9 years from flask. I have some 45~55"+ plants that are are spiking right now. All of them are single growth, so they have not expended...
As far as I know, Paphs, being terrestrials, should not be potted in moss, as you would for epiphytes. I use a mixture of charcoal & brick (50%) and coconut...
No, you got it backwards. Most epiphytes (meaning, plants that grow on trees) prefer bark/charcoal/and a whole lot of things that give good drainage....
Okay. All of you, quiet down. There is a science to the media voodoo, if you care to hear of it. Your media depends almost ENTIRELY on your watering frequency...
Excellent email by LucidLogic!!! I have just repotted some 4 day old paph purchases and the velamins were totally rotted off. The sphagnum moss they were...

"There is a science to the media voodoo," Actually, until somebody does an experiment showing one media superior over another with statistical difference,...
You are right, of course. I think my communication was lacking. What I wanted to say that Paphs, being terrestrials, needed a soil-like media to grow upon, as...
Does anyone in New Zealand have spare pollen of accurately named Paph & Phrag species that they are not using? Thanks David Shaw 43 Brucefield Ave Ashburton ...
The science applied isn't necessarily upon paphs, but on the plant world in general. Personally, I grow in a shale based mix, but I water my plants 5 times a...
william, what is the ratio of perlite and peat moss in your mix? i have some phals in a peat/perlite mix and they are doing well. i have often wondered how...
Annette, Sorry for the delay response. The P. Leeanums are growing in 50/50 peat perlite mix. I will throw caution in the air if you are going to grow paphs in...
William, I have been reading your comments on the P Leeanum mix especially the watering frequency. What is the average daytime humidity and how do you water? ...

Gordon, In regards to P. Leeanum: The humidity is relatively high here, I would say 80% or more (I can give you the exact average later). Unfortunately I don't...
