    Mini Multi-Florals?

    There are plants of Paph. Sandcanh (canhii X sanderianum) out there and the pic I saw was pretty cool: 8" blooming plants in 4"-5" pots with 2-3 flowers on a single spike

    Paph canhii

    I heard they used a thin layer of sphagnum moss to replicate the rocks they naturally grow on.

    Paphiopedilum wenshanense questions

    How bright is your light? All my wenshanense and wenshanense aurea have dark leaves, and I grow them < 1000 foot-candles.

    Mexipedium xerophyticum in a bonsai pot

    When I water, I use only water. I foliar feed 2-3 times a month in summer, and I use a tiny bit of slow release fertilizer in the pots. Regarding cnycharles comment above, I grow Mexipediums hot, humid, and bright!

    Mexipedium xerophyticum in a bonsai pot

    I grow them in a bark/peat mix, in 3" pots, and water every 5-7 days. The big plant is in an 8" bulb pan with peat/gray rock mix and gets watered the same.

    A Trio of Paphs

    Excellent thaianum!! You should get that judged - if that appeals to you, if possible - looks better than several awards I've seen!
