Saving Paph Stonei

[estación seca]

Yes. Paph. roots look different from other orchid roots. They are brown from the time they form, not white like other orchid roots. That plant is not in great shape but with good care it should survive.

Pot the plant into medium that can stay moist but still has lots of air. I don't know what you have available in Malaysia. Many people use orchid bark alone, or mixed with perlite. Some people use LECA expanded clay.

Hello Estacion
Yes i have bark, coconut husk, leca, perlite plus volcanic rock. Not sure how long I have to wait for the first root to grow?
