I love my little Paph. niveum

[fibre]

Last year my Paphiopedilum niveum flowered all year round, but only one flower each time.
I gave it a strong rest this winter.

Here is the result:

Thanks for your congrats!

The trick was to reduce watering from December until March, when the first buds were showing. During this time I watered about every 2nd week just about 3 cl.

I grow this niveum on a south facing windosill. It loves lots of sun! It sits there next to Paph. exul.
Potting medium is bark, expanded clay and lots of limestone.
