Hi all, I am a paph. grower from Hong Kong and would like to enquire about the requirements for growing Paph. gigantifolium properly.
I have been growing muti-florals paphs (like lowii, rothschildianum, philippinese, kolopakingii and William Ambler) in a south facing windowsill with humidfier to maintain humidity and they seems happy to the environment in the past year.
I have a chance recently to get a gigantifolium in spike (and with one more mature growth) and wish to learn form the expert guys here whether it is also suitable to place the plant along with my muti-florals. I have read some threads here and learnt that gigantifolium seems not easy to grow and need very much humidity. I wonder if there are any special requirements to make it happy.
By the way, may I also have some advises on the potting medium? I grow the muti-florals with mixed medium of perlite, bark plus a little coconut shell and charcoal.
Thank you very much here in advance.
