Paph. armeniacum is a wonderful species. Just treat it like normal Paph., regular fertilizer and water (evenly moist), but it does need a cool dry winter rest in order to set the flower. Give it a rest from Nov till the flower spike come out the bud is open. Temp down to 10 at night during winter and under 20 during day. Summer can be a few degree warmer 25 - 16.

Ok thanx...I was just a little worried because it seemd to be just a little more "fragile" than my other mottled leaved Paphs!!
