Paph. philippinense var. laevigatum

JPMC · Feb 29, 2012

This is its second flush of bloom in 5 months. This is far more extensive than the single spike from last October. Small flowers, but I love the contrast between the light yellow of the lip and the rich mahogany of the petals.

There's no cross listed. When I bought it over 10 years ago it was just called "Paph. phillippinense".

I grow in large size fir bark. I give it "cattleya light" with a T5 light system. It gets temps that are ~85-90 F in day and ~70F at night in summer with winter about 10 degrees cooler. It gets fertilized "weakly weekly" with urea-free fertilizer at 125-150 ppm. It is kept moist at all times. The high light is very important.
