Hello from Wisconsin

[SlipperNewbie]

Hi everyone,

I've had a few Phals for several years and have decided to add new orchids to my collection. Last year I added Onc. Sharry Baby Red Fantasy, LC. schilleriana, Doritis pulcherrima Wallbrun, Doritis pulcherrima var. champornensis, Epi pseudepidendrum and a Onc. mini lost label. I am awaiting the arrival of my first slipper orchid, Paph Spicerianum in-bloom. Hopefully the blooms survive the shipping. I can't wait! I was hooked after going to an orchid show and taking photos of the gorgeous slipper orchids. I have a lot to learn about the slipper orchids and this site looks the perfect place to be!

I chose Spicerianum because it was recommended as a good one to start with. I like that it's easy. I just want to ease into the slippers and gain confidence with them! It will be shipped on Monday to arrive on Wednesday. Any tips for starting out with it are welcome! Thanks!! :wink:

Welcome from NYC. Grow it like your other plants, maybe a little less sun, and a little more moisture.

Welcome Newbie... from about 60 miles away. Where is your Paph spicerianum coming from?

(always a lower case s on spicerianum BTW, a species not a hybrid)

We're happy you found us! There's lots of expertise here for any slipper question.
Your spicerianum is indeed an "easy" one and should reward you every year with more blooms from it's developing clump.
Welcome from San Francisco!

Welcome from KY! If you grow Phals. well, you can grow Paphs. well. Paphs. just require more patience. Hope the bloom arrives intact.

Beautiful collection Maria!

Thank you!! I'm working on it

 

[SlipperNewbie]

Got it (lower case s)! It is coming from Fort Myers, FL.

Welcome from South Africa. Paph spicerianum should grow fairly easily for you along with your Phalaes, good starter choice!
