My thoughts, not written in stone, cherish & nurture Paph roots. Never leave the potting medium to break down to any extent, repot when necessary, not when you see any problem there. Feed very dilute organic fertilizers. & take advantage of foliar feeds, again, VERY dilute. Spray the UNDERSIDE of the leaves so as to avoid water in the crowns.I use plain bark, boiled for 10 minutes, rinsed & stored in sealed plastic bags. It is then clean & well hydrated before use. A thin top dressing of chopped, ( soaked before use) sphagnum moss will be appreciated by the plant. A light spray of R.O. rain or de ionised water over the spagnum on hot, dry days is benificial in the growing season to encourage new roots. Seaweed based fertilizers often contain root stimulating substance that is an excellent booster. 40 years of growing orchids & I'm still learning all the time, thanks to people like Dani & others who give excellent, honest & practical guidance. Newbies, read, research, know the plant natural envirnment. Be wary - there is so much rubbish advice out there. Sellers are not always growers. Thank you Dani for you encouraging & ever reliable guidance.
all I could see were all the awesome roots in those pots, wow!
I know this video is older but I just bought a Paph Lynleigh Koopowitz It does have an odor. It is supposed to smell like raspberry cream. I can't wait till it blooms. : )
I have not seen the American Hybrid here in Colorado- only phaps I have been able to get are the mottled leaf with a blueish tinge I purchased a discounted Phapiopedilum Fred’s Style (Fred’s Aura ‘Lightness’ x Egrel’s ‘White Flight) as my first one. It was discounted due to the bloom had dropped. So your videos have helped quite a lot in how I need to keep it from fading away 😍
I have paphiopedilums which I never have nurtured before. My medium is potting soil and lava aggregate.1:2 ratio. Left them under my 4 foot eave, but they didn't like the heat from the roofing. Took them over to my shelves which have morning shade and 4 hours of afternoon sunlight. They are doing so well. It rains a lot here so well draining medium is a must. They love their location I'm in the tropics. Humidity in the 90s and temps are at high 80s
Something I've found is that Paphiopedilums have really different temperature ranges depending on their parentage. Some of them are cooler-intermediate growers and others are warm-growers and will not tolerate anything under 60. My Paph superbiens for example is listed online as intermediate but mine wilts and looks completely sick if its exposed to anything under 55 for too long. So I keep it with my warm growers and now its thriving. My Paph fairrieanum is super adaptable. It can handle periods of drought, cooler temperatures, higher temperatures -- basically it doesn't care. I find that their growth is even slower than my Phal's as you stated. They've also been much more susceptible to spiders mites. I used to have a Paph delenatii that died after it was exposed to temps around 55-50 degrees after being outside in my attempt to bloom it. They are the most finicky of all the orchids I have (including my zygo hybrid....).
I would love to see an update of the phalaenopsis keiki project with keiki paste. You showed us the phal which had only flower spikes in a monthly bloom video, but I never saw the one with the keiki again. I think my phal is producing a keiki and I immediately thought of your experiment. I am so excited and it would be awesome to see updates on yours😍
Hey Dani, I’ve had a Paphiopedilum Maudiae “Vinicolor” for years and love it’s habit!
Thank you
I got one Paphiopedilum which looks like american hybrid( got no label anymore), got it here in Germany^^
Thank you for this video! Those mottled leaves are so gorgeous :) I had some beginner's luck with my first paph. Now that the flower is gone, I'd like to repot it, but can't decide in what type of pot. I think the ideal would be bark in a self watering pot. What do you think? I'm usually heavy on the watering, but also leave a few weeks now and then.
Hi Dani, I live in a climate similar to yours but hotter and drier. How do you over winter your vandas? Thanks in advance! I have watched and rewatched almost all of your videos. You have helped me fuel my enjoyment by adding to my success with all types of orchids.
Hi, Dani! Would you consider doing a video on timing specifically?
Hi Danny, love the roots on your Paphs. So healthy looking. I have (had) 2 of the American paphs, (I lost one from allowing the joints between the leaves to get wet) She did bloom for me before I lost her. The second one is doing very good and she has a new fan and a new leaf. So exciting. I'm in the USA and find the American very available, especially online. (got both of mine from Nursery Sellers on Amazon for about $25.00 USD each and both were NBS. Think I am going to replace the one I lost once next Spring comes!!!
Hi again Danni, just wondering if you are familiar with the Oeceoclades orchids? I'm being gifted one that is Odecaryana x Omaculata genus. Thanks for any information you can provide.
First. Also I have a question. My philinopsis is I believe 3-4 years old. And is in relatively good condition. But I think it’s using it’s ariel roots to absorb all the water it will use. How can I help it so tht it can use its potted roots to get its water.
I notice you don’t use wicking system on most of your orchids anymore. Is there a reason?
Something weird is happening to my paph because the new pup that is coming out of the mother plant is smaller than the mother plant and yet it,s blooming and making another pup do I need to worry about it,s condition?
Dani how many Orchids do you have in your collection? I assume that it must be around 200!
How often should we report
