    Cool Growing Paphs?

    In preparation for the approaching fall, I want to separate out my cooler growing Paphs to allow them to get a nice rest to bloom properly. I was wondering if the forum could generate a list of cooler growing Paph species and the minimum temperature ranges for those species. Also, I know...

    Slow-Release Fertilizers?

    Do any of you include slow-release fertilizers in with your mix for paphs when you repot? I use these for my citrus trees and amorphophali (is this the plural?), in which they seem to work really well. I know that they cut down on burn and are available in a variety of N-P-K ratios, some with...

    Cocoa mulch?

    Hey, Has anyone ever added soaked cocoa mulch (the husks from the cocoa seed after they to make chocolate) their bark mix. I have started adding it to a large size bark mix and so far (a few weeks), my test subjects have showed increased vitality. Nevertheless, this effect may just be that...

    Paph. sangii

    Hello all, I have been lurking lately since I have been consumed by school – sorry for that. I finally decided to get myself a sangii. Although it is out of character for me to do my research after buying a plant (please forgive me that), what special care should I give it now that it is...

    Seedling Bubble

    Does anyone have a good source for a humidity bubble for seedlings? I just moved home and my babies could use the extra humidity. I have not used these yet, but I know some of you do. I am a bit worried about ventilation. Has this been a problem for any of you? Many thanks. ~P

    Coryanthes speciosa

    This year, I got this Coryanthes in spike from Orchids Ltd. and it opened last week. Unfortunately, my lowish humidity coupled with the Coryanthes's naturally short bloom time means that the flower is already fading, but here is a picture of it in full swing (sorry about the lighting, I did not...

    Phrag. besseae ('Haven' x 'Smokin')

    As promised, here is the besseae that I recieved in my shipment from Paphiness.:) Before you all ask, the color in this picture is the most accurate of the pictures I took; not perfect, but very close. Also, I will be traveling, but I will try to post a picture of the plant at some point too.

    Psychopsis versteegianum 'Perpetual' x self

    Here is a little something that I picked up at the Virginia OS show in Richmond. Actually it is not that little; it's about 12 cm across. Although I know little about this species, that seems good to me:). Plus, it will continue to bloom for a year or more on this spike:D.

    Hello from VA

    Dear all, I have been collecting orchids for three years now. I have a few non-slippers, but the majority of my collection is comprised of species paphs. Currently, I am on the hunt for a nice parishii (reasonably priced, I hope) or a flask of them. That's all for now; I just wanted to say...
