Hi guys,
just want to share what from my shots...

a nice hybrid Paph Jogjae (paph glaucophylum x praestans)

They are growing at elevation +/- 1200m asl with temperature at night 12-15C, day 21-24C.

Beautiful paphs and pics... May I ask what you use as growing media?

 

[jaxsprout]

it depends what kind species, usually I use mixed media limestone + broken fern bark + bamboo humus / O horizon (see the pic below)...

then using hanging pot + tray below it, filled the tray with water for stimulating roots grows. it works for me...

Thanks for sharing your culture tips..

Very interesting growing media. I'm not sure what bamboo humus is and how it differs from O humus.

 

[jaxsprout]

Yes Slipperfan,
I guess not everybody knows what bamboo humus looks like, in here we called "humus andam bambu" (in indonesian)....

Bambo humus is made from weathering bamboo leaves on the ground and mixed with upper soil.

 

[NYEric]

OK, I'll take a kilo.,

 

[SlipperKing]

Interesting stuff.....I assume it doesn't break down very fast, right?

 

[SlipperFan]

Thanks, Jaxsprout. It looks very granular, and that it would drain very well. I can see why it would be a good medium for growing Paphs.

more paphs and phrag...

enjoy...
