Hi All,
A few months ago I decided it was time to trial a few flasks for the first time. Over a 2 month period I purchased the following from various good sources and to date have not lost a single seedling which I am really pleased about. They include;
- Paph Lebeau "Chao Chou BM/TPS x Paph adductum "Yu Nan"
- Paph sanderianum "Jia Ho" x sib "Nae Shan"
- Paph fairreanum x sib "Nae Shan"
- Paph Death Star x Paph anitum "Hsiao"
- Paph Krulls "Mona Lisa" (philippinense var laevigatum x Michael Koopowitz)
- Paph Wossner Spiderman (kolopakingii var topperi x M. Koopowitz)
- Paph kolopakingii var topperi x self
I know I am probably still in a delicate period especially as we are entering our winter period soon in the UK. I will have to be careful on the feed/watering but intend to supplement lighting and they are on a heat mat from now on which should hopefully encourage root growth. Root & foliage growth is encouraging especially on the sanderianum as both parents produce petal lengths over 90 cm! I wonder how long it will take to get to FS??
sanderianum seedlings looking healthy and quite fast growing.
