    The leaves on phrags are turning yellow. Uh oh

    Hi Eric What do people typically do? Is it common to have different environments / greenhouses / rooms for different conditions? Larger spaces? Better (as in more carefully considered) selection for compatible species? I could see 40 gallons as not enough volume for a forgiving environment...

    The leaves on phrags are turning yellow. Uh oh

    OK, new plan. Everything has been moved into an old 40 gal aquarium. It's probably going to take a while to get the timers mister and fan dialed in. Right now, the humidity is 90 in there. I'll try to get it averaged out to about 70. I've been using distilled water in the mister, so I'll...

    HI Lance The lowest the humidity gets is 30. The rougher leaves on the paphs can get some condensation - so I keep them away from the source of the mist. The phrags stay dry to the touch. Thanks! -Anne

    Thanks for the advice! I am indeed in Arizona, where the houses are designed to limit heat and light coming in, and where the air conditioners suck humidity out of the air. I'm determined to come up with a workable solution, though. ;) My new plan: I will get some clear plastic pots with...

    Requesting help with basic care

    Hello there I’ve recently become very interested in Paphs. I bought a white one at Trader Joes a few months ago, became fascinated, and immediately added 4 more to the household. Unfortunately, I’ve not got much of a green thumb, so this is well outside my skill level. My concern is...
