A Bit Nervous and Intimidated - Paph fairrieanum Female
Default A Bit Nervous and Intimidated - Paph fairrieanum

About 2 years ago, I purchased a Paph. fairrieanum from orchids.com. It was never in good shape (only had 2-3 good roots), but with a knowledgeable keeper, it would've been fine. I wasn't that keeper. In a few months, it just started going downhill and I could not manage to save it. I admit I could not get the whole watering thing just right, and it died.

I have become a much better grower since then. I am now much more familiar with all the cyclical variations in my home and can make the small tweaks necessary when the seasons change. I found another specimen on Ebay. I have been secretly looking for one since I lost the first one and they are not easy to find. I had to jump on the opportunity. A grower raised it from flask and it is currently in a 2.5 inch pot. However, I must confess I am a bit nervous about attempting this again.

Any tips from people who have mastered culture for a fairrieanum would be greatly appreciated!
