I'm sorry about the bad photos, I'm going to try and take some better ones when it has opened up abit more.

I'm really happy with it, especially as it likes my basic conditions. Took weeks from 1st signs of a spike to now, at least 7-8 weeks Will definitely be looking to get a few more Brachy hybrids, maybe try some species (my P. micranthum has been incredibly slow and grumpy).
 
It's growing in hydro leca, in a semi hydroponics fashion. Have nearly all my Paphs in it. After a few years of tinkering I've been getting good results.

Hi Tom, i pot a micranthum in leca today. I bought it yesterday with naked roots on a expo.
How is your magic lantern now? I'm so worried about this kind of substrate for this type of Paphiopedilum, so can you give me some advices about it, like fertilization, watering, aditives, etc.
I'll apreciate it so much!

Very very beauty by the way.
