Fren,
Thank you for the response. Yeah the leaves dont really feel "leathery" but are definitely harder than my other Paps...since you seem to know a lot about the Ho Chi Minh series, do you mind giving me any more information about them. I am new to this breed (newish to orchids in general) and want to make sure i do everything right. I found a link to the species and what it suggests, but i always love hearing peoples feedback.
The plant itself has blossomed three times, as i can tell from two cut back stalks...and is on its third blossom (though fading)...I will try to include pics in the next couple of days...Its in bark material...and you suggested some limestone mix...which i will take into consideration...do you always use this mix when you go to water it, or only once in awhile...or do you put the limestone mix directly in the soil. I dont want to repot it as it seems to be doing fine in its current home.
Also. Do they like the same amount of light as other Paps? The light, almost velvety flower, makes it almost seem like an albino orchid, so I have to ask.
also how often does your seem to blossom? I have heard they can blossom twice a year but the blossoms themselves only last at most six weeks, and that is a pretty good run...
Any other unique tidbits i should know about this breed?
Thank you for your time, much appreciated!!!
