I just acquired a Phal. lowii and it is mostly green roots with two leaves one of which aborted so I have one tiny leaf and a new leaf tip just starting too show. I am wondering how too avoid killing it and I am afraid too water. The roots are always green so I am learning that this usually...

I plan on buying the large container from Amazon so I have a refill so more frequent applications will allow the Paph too continue. So far the plant is unwilling too let the two bottom leaves go. I am curious what a long term disinfectant would be called. I am looking at Safers Fungicide too...

If you click the first picture it’s possible too see the rot at the base of the last remaining fan. I am hoping the Hydrogen Proxide has haulted the advancement of this disease.

Very pretty. How often do you water and fertilize?

Orchid growing is impossible I can grow these however with laws here in Canada we can't do this since we can not heat a greenhouse; even five wall greenhouses are way too expensive too heat. So we lost all our orchids too disease and heating. It's the same way with gardening ... all perennials...

It looks like you grow all your paph's in sphagnum moss.

My refurbished computer is a vista Dell Optiplex that I had too install Win 10 and it 's can't do anything. It is the most expensive problem I have ever had. Will not be living in anything by substitized housing which is the same thing is a box on the street due to this awful technology problem...

Wish mine would spike however it's too scared too.

God orchids take no survivors, or is it just the opposite ???

I am back after a very long and painful ordeal and want too report that here in 2018 under very abusive situation .... Paphiopedilum Humoresque is a SURVIVOR.
