Hi guys.. I notice that most paphs in Australia do not have very healthy roots. Frequently, the root tips are not actively growing, but they tend to have lots of new growths. Why is this so? Most are grown in straight medium bark or bark + perlite. I have a single growth Billy Cardalino (Susan Booth x philippinense), Recovery (suk x phili) and recently bought a Stephen Monkhouse (Maudiae type). The Recovery had about 6 mature growths but only 7-8 short inactive roots. Same case with Stephen Monkhouse, nice clump of about 7-8 growths, but a measly root mass..
P/s: Is Stephen Monkhouse a vinicolor type? The seller doesn't remember what the flower looks like. The basal leaves have a dark reddish tinge.. Thanks..
