Paph malipoense

[em_tee_w]

Been waiting for many many months for this one. The fragrance is so slight, I can't tell if it is raspberry-ish, or grass-ish, or something else.

What are your culture tricks for this species?

This is grown in intermediate temps, 60F nights in winter, maybe up to 90F days in the summer. It likes a fair amount of water but I almost never water more than once per week, and I also fertilize extremely lightly, maybe once per month. It gets fairly bright light, direct sun for a couple hours in the early morning then dappled sunlight the rest of the day. It is grown next to coffee plants.

Great photo, is the color really that light?

It is a bit more green than that, but the photo is backlit so it washed out some of the green. It is lighter green than others I have seen, and is more yellow now after a few weeks.

What do you use for potting mix? What's your irrigation water like?

Lovely malipoense!

 

[SlipperFan]

That is nice. I'm waiting for a white one (with spots).

 

[Bobc]

Very nice bloom.

I like the backlit effect as well. As has been already said, I like the spots, the light color, and the form is very nice too. Great looking flower!

This is grown in a bark/perlite/charcoal mix, and the water is straight well water with a hardness of 110 ppm.
