To remove a leaf the technique is to grab each half between your thumbs and index fingers and tear them through the middle ;) of course you're gonna mess it up sometimes but it brings more chances of removing the full leaf easier, this seems helpful with paphs to allow new roots to reach the medium quicker without drying out!
So nice! Thanks for the video. I am considering to buy a paphiopedilum :) good to know what to expect! Other orchid I really would like to see the growth stages is the zygopetalum.
I am hooked on paphiopedilum since I saw them on your channel. I now got 4 seedling and might get more so addictive. One pap insigne flowering size I cannot wait! Thanks Danny for showing off these beauties :)
Danni you should get some more Paphiopedilum species, I specially want you to get a micranthum (since I can’t get it in my country 😔) since it has a different growing pattern and the flower is gorgeous
I recently got an orchid that has the best scent ever, Miltonia Kismet. Since you like scented I thought you might want this one. I don’t know if you have Ododm Burgundium, this is another one that has a yummy scent, kind of sweet cinnamon.
Hi Danny, I have two Phaps in my collection, both modeled leaves an investment them! One is growing out a new fan (so happy about that). I have both in self watering in spaghnum moss and so far they both seem to enjoy it! Thanks for the video! 😍
I've never wanted a Paph, since I don't really like the flowers I'd seen... but I ended up with a 'Shirley Amundson' in a mystery orchid package. I don't care for the flowers it'll have, one of which is currently working up to blooming. However, I've absolutely fallen in love with the foliage! Now I want more. Especially a Concolor... or three... since I seem to have found one that I like the foliage AND the flower on.
You forgot to mention that paphs actually need a nighttime. I had to lose two before I found that out. Paphs for some reason don't process their waste like other plants. It builds up all day, and then they need the dark period to process that waste. I tried keeping a paphs at my desk, at work. But, the office lights are on 24/7. The leaves turned black and died. I had one at home in a north window and pretty much ignored it--it went wild! That part of the house was completely unlit at night. Thank you for all your hard work!
Hi, actually all plants need night, not just Paphs, to function properly and be trully healthy. So that's why I didn't mention it, it's implied for all the plants on my channel 😊
Oh my gosh. I am so happy I found this video. I just didn't know Paphs can grow sooooo slow T.T I almost bought BS one that takes almost 2 to 3 years for growth to mature and then bloom. Which Paphs bloom fastest?
This is unrelated to this specific video, but I had a quick question to ask as a relatively new orchid grower. I applied keiki paste to three nodes several weeks ago and lo and behold! I now have three keikis starting to grow. It is a very healthy and freshly repotted orchid with extensive roots and quite large and firm leaves. Is it okay to leave all three keikis or would this compromise the health of the mother? She is also growing a new flower spike at the moment, too. Thanks in advance for any help! Love this channel. -Lance
Love the flower colour and shape on Judge Phillips. My very first orchid over 20 years ago was Paph - Maudiae. Which is the yellow flowered one you showed in one of your videos?
@@MissOrchidGirl Sorry Danni, a little misunderstanding because of my badly phrased question. I meant, you showed a yellow Paph flower in one of your older videos, Short spike with several large yellow flowers.
Hi @Miss orchid girl ,I have 2 phaleanoposis orchids .When I got my first one I cut the flower spike behind the last node and it flowerd again this year.But when the flowers of my second orchid withered I had to cut the whole flower spike off because it dried up ,but it did not flower this year although I got both of them around the Same time .Will it ever grow a new flower spike ? PLS help me ,also do you think that it is a good idea to change the colour of my white flowers to blue, since I live by the ocean ,I feel that it will fit the theme . Your advice will be really appreciated 😇
I have a mottled leaf Paph American Beauty 'Grace' x 'Ontario' and I've been worried about her ever since I got her. She did not like semi-hydro and I switch her into a Paph mix and she has new growth, however, those yellow leaves!!! It is very scary... I thought for sure I was losing her but her new growth is very green...
I separated my Leca small medium and large which was an idea from MOG’s spherical stacking video. It was a very therapeutic process. My Paph seems to be doing well in small leca.I do keep it wet every few days.
I noticed that these are all in decorative pots, I was wondering are you watering differently now? If so can you please update watering routine for different types of orchids.
Hi, I water pretty much all my orchids the same, they all have decorative pots. I also didn't change my watering technique in the past 4 years or so, still using the water pump 😁 I talk all about it here ua-cam.com/video/HOhNbae8Xtg/v-deo.html
Hiya Danny, I have a Paphiopedilum that grows from bulbs, leaves are similar to the ones you have in this video. I have had it for many years however it has never flowered…. Are you familiar with this type of Paph??
I have a problem. I bought the MSU fertilizer from repotme. It is the tap/ro/rain granule version. I added 1/2 a teaspoon to a clean gallon jug of distilled water with a TDS of 2 ppm. The TDS shot way up to 375 ppm. Is this normal?
Hi, yes it sounds pretty good. But not all orchids have the same feeding requirments, so if you are unsure, just use half the recommended dosage at first and see how your orchids react. Rootless and recovering orchids need less fertilizer than healthy, established orchids! Good luck!
@@Beegno7 Hi Brandon, Thank you for your reply. I cut a flower stem in 4 pieces about 3 inches long each, they have been in water for about 2 months, changing water, and cleaning glass regularly. 3 stems have a leaf almost one inch long. The fourth stem looks healthy and appears to be starting a leaf. I didn't use moss, yet. Glass is not covered. Should I expect roots to form where the leaves started? Much appreciated. John m
Hi, if you refer to Phalaenopsis, I will be honest.. I don't think you will have any viable keikis in the long run. I know there are many propagation 'hacks' on various social platforms, it's a trend, but keikis need help from the mother plant to properly develop. You might get a node swelling, even try to leaf, but it will deplete soon. That is my opinion, sorry I don't have good news. Here is my keiki propagation tutorial, good luck! ua-cam.com/video/_Mxr6Gqt7Gg/v-deo.html
I don’t know why, but my paph’s pups/new growths are only half the size of the original mother plant and yet they are blooming, what am I doing wrong or what am I not doing?
The pink lady's slipper is native to my state, Indiana. A friend of mine grows so many of them. Would love to send you one from my side of the world! Is that possible?
Here's a decent metaphor for the paphs. They need night. It's kinds like their "kidneys" only function in the dark of night. If they don't get nighttime their "kidneys" won't work and waste builds up. Unfortunately, there is no dialysis for paphs. I hope this helps describe my earlier comment. Thank you!
Your support clips are connected wrong. Put the finger pinch part on the rod and the grips around the stem. The wire holds the fingers open a little so it doesn't smash the stem.❤
It sounds like a lady slipper is not at all easy for a novice to grow. I have done ok with some tomatoes, and potatoes, but as MN's state flower is the lady slipper, I thought it would be fun to try. Also, I can only garden in containers,as I am not allowed to dig the yard.
One thing I have learned about orchids…patience is bliss 🥰 I just brought one, I can’t wait❣️
My new paph from last year is doing so well! He is growing a whole new self!

Your Paphs are an inspiration Danny.. some day mine will get there 🤞
My vanda m pearman is now just pushing out her first flower spike! 😍

My hubby loves these type of orchid. Unfortunately I have never purchased one to grow. Perhaps one day one will show up at the doorstep.
I was literally planning on getting a paph loved the video
Thank you! Needed this, starting to wonder what my paphs are up to over a year later of not much happening 🤣
I love this video. I have more paphs than anything else. Love rewatching this one.
My first paph flowers are just about the die off and I wasn’t sure what to do with the spike so THANK YOU so much for this video.

Do you clean the slipper orchid leaves Daniel. And what do you use help ? London
Hi Danny. Do you have Deperle? It is so beautiful 😍
Garden answer shirt 👍👍👍
Hiya Danny, I have a Paphiopedilum that grows from bulbs, leaves are similar to the ones you have in this video. I have had it for many years however it has never flowered…. Are you familiar with this type of Paph??
Hi idol. I have vanda orchid. What are the methods to make it more flowers because the flowers of vanda in three to five days it will dry.
I have a problem. I bought the MSU fertilizer from repotme. It is the tap/ro/rain granule version. I added 1/2 a teaspoon to a clean gallon jug of distilled water with a TDS of 2 ppm. The TDS shot way up to 375 ppm. Is this normal?

For some reason I thought ppm should be below 200.
T&ank you for the information!
...yeah. . .same with my paph. . .i thought the wilted leaf can easily be pulled but im wrong. . .need to be cut with scissors..😅
Hi Orchid lady. We put 4 stems in water, there is a leaf forming , almost one inch, what should we do with them next ?
Can you provide a little bit more details.

@@jmack619 I don’t know much about cuttings with orchids.

Actually it has more to do with respiration and metabolism in orchids. Google why do plants need night and you'll find tons of information 😊
I broke the flower spike on my paph. I’m so heartbroken 😭
😭 she will bloom again! Though I understand your heartbreak ❤
I have a paphiopedilum that refuses to flower :(
Thank you

I don't have a Paph yet but I want one.
👍🏼👍🏼
4:18 Paph. rothschildianum is not a sequential bloomer.
Had many papahs for years and could never get it to spike.
Interesting, I have only for 2-3 months and they are blooming constantly, I might suggest temp and humidity a problem?
Me imagino que es díficil cultivo...
