Paph. Delrosi

[SlipperMatt]

Two spikes with two flowers on each. Not the best colors, not the best shape, but it's flowering every two years for me.

I like it

Not bad. And yes a flowering Delrosi is a good thing. I have two plants I bought Blooming Size 12 years ago...nada.

Delrosi is really a nice hybrid and yours is a good Delrosi - congrats.

Sweet! Thanks for sharing. These are not easy to bloom. What's your secret?

 

[SlipperMatt]

Thx guys! Nothing secret. I am growing it under fluorescent tubes, with constant 25 degree Celsius. He's sitting in a 15cm plastic pot filled with mix of Orchiata Power 6, Pumice 2, Hydroton 2, CHC 2, Charcoal 1parts. I am fertilizing every second watering with 20-20-20 NPK + micronutrients @ 0,4gr/liter concentration from march to oktober. I am growing all of my Paphs with this method. I think, the most important factor for flowering a Paph. is a good genetics, and general conditions. That's it pals.

Are you using tap with your fert? No Mag?

Thanks for the info.

Nope! I am using osmo for watering my plants. Some case (on every 5. watering) I add 30% chilled tap water, or using Epson Salt @ 0,5gr/l concentration. But on that case I am using only Epsom salt, nothing else to avoid the salt dissolve problems.
Once every 6month I am spraying the foliage with Dithane M45 (mancozeb) for give the plants manganese and zinc micronutrient @ 0,2gr/l.

Thanks. I was kind of tracing where your Ca/Mg came from. So I was thinking from tap but unless your tap has a lot of cal carbonate, 30% may not be enough but then your plants look good.
You are also putting a lot more K than Ca and yet they are fine. To top it all, 20/20/20 is acidic, with RO your pH will dive but again your plants are beautiful.
Thanks for sharing. This kind of info is very interesting.
What do you use when you are just plainly watering meaning no fert?
