Hello all,
I recently bought a paph bellatulum at the gros show in rochester, ny from marlow orchids, and I was wondering if anyone had seen this plant growing in the wild, and/or if any of you that have grown this plant well (or not) could fill me in on how you are growing it, mainly for under-lights growing and what sorts of media you are using? I read the Baker's culture sheet for bellatulum and was interested to see that it grows over limestone sort of like what is described for a few other paphs like armeniacum and others.
thanks for your help!
ps I also finally caught up with the paph concolor that I had bought beginning of the year from carolina orchids, and though I have heard it has 'easier' culture I'd be interested in hearing about good ways to grow it as well.
