Repotting a Paph... have I potted it deep enough?

[RosieC]

Ok, well I bought a pair of Paphs in December (two, each in a half pot, sold together). I've been meaning to repot ever since the flowers dropped in late Jan, and somehow I've not got round to it.

Then this morning I brushed one of them as I was watering other chids and it just fell out the pot and I realised it had hardly any roots. Tonight when I sat down to repot I emptied the media and found it was really really broken down and horrid.

Anyway I've repotted both of them in 7cm (2 3/4") pots (the second one has better roots but still not good.) and I know that in the past someone commented I had potted my other paphs too high in the pot. So I want to check if I have put them deep enough this time (or are they now too deep) .

They look good to me but I would wait for some more replies. I'm still learnin' too! Those leaves look great though!

Yes, they look fine to me too.

Thanks Angela and Hedge

Look ok to me too.
I would also give them some K-L-N so as to promote more root growth & I would also watch the first one as your potting mix is a bit 'higher up' which I don't think is a problem as long as dries fairly quickly.. in that does not provoke rot.. Well done! keep us posted!

Thanks Nenella.

I think it should dry quite quickly as everything I have in this size pot and grade of medium seems to dry very quickly.
