Culture of Paph lowii and Paph roebelenii

[Mafate]

Hi all, is there something important or special to know to succeed in cultivating Paph lowii and Paph roebelenii? I mostly grow Paph from subgenus Brachypetalum and I have no experience with the multifloral ones.

Thank you for your help.

I grow them in Orchiata bark with some charcoal and sponge rock. They like warm & humid, with bright light, lots of water, and regular fertilizing.

Particularly pay attention to good ventilation for lowii or it will be affected by fungus infection easily. Also, lower light intensity for lowii as compared with philippinese.

Ok, thank you very much Camellk, have a nice day.

lowii - basket culture. Higher light and LOTS of air movement - or they rot

Ok, thank you Ozpaph, a good ventilation seems to be essential!
