Default How can i care for this noid?

I just figured out that one of my NOIDs is more likely to be a Phrag than a Paph. I'm reading online that the light requirement vary so much as do the watering requirements. I have her in water culture so watering is not an issue but the light is. Is there any way to tell (other than leaf colour) if she is a high light or med light?

It looks more like a green- leaved Paph to me.

The requirements for Phrags and Paphs are not all that different. Follow the instructions for one and you will probably be okay.

Ok thanks guys. She looks like she is doing well to me.... but i can help but wonder if she could be doing better. Just paranoid, I can't kill her before she blooms... I would be devastated.

I agree, it looks like a paph, not a phrag. Unlike phrags, paphs don't need as much water. Paphs grow in leaf litters or stone cliffs, I am not sure how well it will respond to water culture. The roots are very healthy though, so it likes the medium it was growing in before you make the change.

I really do think you have a higher chance of killing it in water culture than to leave it in its previous medium.
