Paph. godefroyae

[Mocchaccino]

godefroyaes brought me to loving slippers when I was young. They are surprisingly variable: patterns of stripes, background color, shape and size of the flower, etc. I like them, yet also hate them. Sometimes they grow slowly and more often they are prone to rot. When they do rot, most do not survive.

That's a nice leucochilum. :clap:



"When they do rot, most do not survive."
Observe your plants often to catch rot at the beginning. Completely remove the affected tissue. Spray with Aspirin solution (one 325 mg tablet disolved in 1 litre of water). Spray 1 to 3 times, a few days apart. Thoroughly wet the entire plant, all foliage - top and bottom, not just the area near where the rot was located. Even water the plant with the solution. Move the plant to a location with more air movement. Doing this will help 9 out of 10 rotting plants to recover.

Nice flower. Thanks for the tip, John. I'll have to keep that in the brain bank.

Thanks john!!! Very nice godefroyae, I thought what seperated godefroyae & leucochilum was the spotted pouch?????? Yours has no spots as a godefroyae, I'm at a total loss at the difference!!!!

Troy, that's why my comment was "That's a nice leucochilum". It's leucochilum.....or, godefroyae v. leucochilum (depending on whether you're a lumper, or a splitter).

It may have rot tendencies, but the bloom is certainly
eye catching.

Very nice.. Is this thai breeding (TOD)?

 

[Ozpaph]

[SlipperKing]

I've seen the same thing with rot. Nice one.

Thank you John. That would be helpful for my future rot management. I guess I'm more on the grouper side. I am tired of changing name tags when the pouch turns out to be different from what I wrote. I just call everyone of them godefroyaes for ease of management.

Very nice.. Is this thai breeding (TOD)?

Yes, it's from thai.
