Might have to indicate your minimum temps in the dry season, if I did what you showed the roots would be mush and the base leaves would have rotted from the water collected near the centre.
I thought they can rot if water gets in between their leaves just like with phalaenopsis. I have killed a few and I always blamed in on that. Please clarify if I’m wrong.
They can if you're indoors especially. I suppose he gets away with it because he's outdoors so the water evaporates and doesn't sit in the crown and in between the leaves
@@shahzebnasir4692 Well, he's not outdoors, but in a greenhouse. But, I'm sure he has plenty of air movement on those plants, so that the foliage dries off before nightfall, and the water isn't standing in the crown or leaf axils.
Legal! Adoro os seus vídeos, apesar de entender um pouco o inglês. Eu aderi ao cultivo em garrafa pet, e fiz furo quatro dedos acima do fundo da garrafa. Sendo assim, toda vez que rego, fica um pouquinho de água renovada no fundo. Abraço.
It should be illegal for me to own an orchid. I remember my mom had one forever. Always bore toms of beautiful flowers. Never have a good spot with appropriate sun I suppose. I’m a moss guy now. I collect moss I find lol
When I give mine the water they need, they look good for a day, then the leaves turn soft and get wilty. The roots are fine, but the plants do not look vibrant. Do they need more air flow? The average humidity is 50% and temps avg75f, Maudiae type (spotted leaves). They are in bark(mostly), charcoal+small amount of pumice. I recently placed a handful of Leca in one to see if increased air to the roots would be helpful. The pots have been flushed monthly for salts and once every two months with Physan 20 for prevention. What am I doing wrong? -also, they have effects of UV lighting in the area they live for a few hours a day, but it is not directly overhead. There is a fan on at all times in the area. I want vigorously growing Paphiopedilums. Any advice, anyone? Why do their leaves get soft the day after watering?
I have mine in pure sphagnum moss and diy self-watering pots. The moss is high quality and very fluffy/aerated and I use a wick for self-watering (not submerged in a reservoir). After a lot of different attempts, this is what works best for me. They get the constant moisture they need, but also a lot of aeration. The moss doesn't get compacted in this setup and breaks down much more slowly. I add nutrients to the reservoir so they have constant access to a weak nutrient solution. I also give them a little more light than is usually recommended, which they tolerate well because they're constantly hydrated. No humidifier or fan or spraying or anything like that. Good luck!
Slippers need constant moisture as they are terrestrials. Humid areas need less water. Dry air from heating will dry them out faster. Standing in water, especially when the air is dry and the plants are very root bound, makes a big difference in culture.
Thanks. It took me a couple of paphs and some time to figure this out. Alot of the literature on them suggest letting them be on the dry side.

I always do that in fact i did one of my orchids that today. 😊
Great for Phragmipediums especially. Indoors, a fan or emptying out any water in the crown is a necessity.
Thank you!
Thank you 😊
Che meraviglia 💯👍👌👏☘️

@@be6715 Yes, most people get crown rot inside since there isn't enough airflow indoors
@@shahzebnasir4692 I would not risk it anyway
Would like to grow...could you recommend a good source?

I live in Alabama. How can I treat her in winter.

@@OrchidWebTV thank you 😊
Red dead redemption 2 plants
And also they are slow grower,
