If you like red bulldog, then they are more than California Girl.

It is very easy to grow and bloom like complex hybrids generally are.

If you are successful (not just keeping them alive but grow them well and have abundant bloom each year) with phalaenopsis or oncidiums, you will do just fine with these types of paphs as well.

They take bright indirect light and some sun is fine depending on the latitude you live in and the season and the time of the day....

You want to water them well especially while they are actively growing during the warmer months and when growing buds and flowering like any plants.

So good light and good watering, simple as that!

They will usually bloom around mid winter but can bloom any time before or after.

If it only was that easy...
