I've been reading the posts for a while, but finally decided to register and ask a question. I grow orchids in my Toronto condo in terrariums. I bought my !st orchids in Sept 08 - mostly phals at first, because I thought they were the easiest. Then I got a Paph Maudiae. It bloomed and rebloomed with no trouble whatsoever, so I bought several more - all Maudiae varieties. They are all growing very well with some getting ready to rebloom.
In Feb., I plan to go to an orchid show here in Toronto and purchase some more paphs. Can someone please recommend some beginner paphs that are not Maudiae?
They will be going into terrarium conditions which are quite warm and humid. Summer temps average 26-28C (78-82F) with little variation between day and night. Winter temps are 22-24C (71-75F) daytime, down to 19/20C (66/68F) at night. Humidity averages 60% -70%, but can be 90% overnight and morning, before the lights come on and can drop to 40% if the top if left completely off. Tank height is 24".
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks a lot.
