Congrats on doing your first post! Looking forward to more of your posts esp if you travel inside Borneo.
That tag is all wrong, listing 3 possible crosses on one label. That plant now has an identity crisis lol.
Maudiaes can tolerate heat in day with ventilation as long as nights can cool down. It should be 20-22C nights there? Do the Thais not grow and bloom them in Bangkok outside in deep shade houses?
Thanks Dr! Will definitely share a lot more photos along the way
Our day time temperatures for now is 33C-34C and evenings would drop down to 23C-24C. As far as humidity is concerned is not much of an issue as our humidity is between 60-80% RH.
What i have seen in thailand as you mentioned, most of them grow and bloom their paphs outside in deep shade houses except for the cool growing species/hybrids.
These are mostly grown in cool rooms/greenhousese except for those living in the Northern parts of Thailand where the temperature is a lot cooler during December (12C-15C at night).
I am hoping to build up a nice collection of warm/heat tolerant paphiopedilums. Most of the ones i have now are species and hybrids of the subgenus brachypetallums i.e. concolor, godefroyae, bellatulum, niveum, etc.
Hoping to gain a better understanding of what i would be able to comfortably grow here. I do love the multiflorals and hoping to acquire a decent size sanderianum and rothchildianum early next year.
