    Treating Boisduval Scale on buds

    Good Morning - I'm up to about 80 paphs now in fairly close quarters, I've got two fans that generate solid air flow. Nonetheless, I'm noticing a few isolated instances of the little white powdery demons. I'm familiar with what happens when it gets out of control....and so now I don't grow...

    Moving Plants in Bud/Bloom

    I’ve always been hesitant to move anything to somewhere it can be appreciated before the bud has fully opened, and then only to a spot that has comparable light. I’m wondering if I’m being overly conservative. For example, I’ve got a P. Deena Nicol (philipenense x glanduliferum) that’s got 2...

    LED lights and PAR w/ Paphs&Phrags

    I know this won't apply to a lot of people who use good ole sunlight.... I tried searching this site but the search functions rejects "LED lights PAR" and most variations thereof. So apologies if this info is already on the site - I tried. I use LED's exclusively for now. I think they're...

    Question about a Roth Hybrid used in a Delrosi

    How Expensive can Paphs get, and what drives the price up?

    The most I have seen online currently is around $1,000usd. If there are buyers willing to pay that based on photos, I have to imagine they’re willing to pay much more in person. So what is the current ceiling on what a Paph can cost? What are the primary factors? I’m guessing some...

    Decisions on Tap Water vs Rain and fertilizer

    So I’ve been reading a good bit about all of the factors involved in nutrients and water chemistry, and more I dive into it the more confused I become! Some advice would be very much appreciated! What I am after is a fertilizer and water regimen that I can apply to all of my paphs and phrags -...

    Favorite Parvi or Brachys Hybrid?

    Hi - long time reader, finally got around to registering so I can post. Many, many thanks for all the info I’ve found on here. I’ve been growing a few paphs for years, but for some reason in the last year I became totally, utterly (alarmingly? My wife says yes.) obsessed to the exclusion of...
