with sanderianum and St.Swithin as parents, it is going to be one big monster plant before it blooms j/k

If you have the right condition (bright light, 70% R.H. and warm temperature), it will grow faster. It is not uncommon for multifloral paphs to have at least 1 mature growth plus 1 mid-size new growth before the mature growth blooms.

Paph angel hair is not too bad a plant to try out. Unlike many of the other multifloral plants it actually grows quite rapidly and can bloom in under four years from a flask in the right conditions. A blooming sized plant usually has a leaf span of 22 inches but there are crosses that have bloomed smaller, usually 18 inches. Don't forget though, it still has rothshildianum and sanderianum in its background so subsequent growths may eventually become larger and very consumptive of space, I believe roth can have a fourty plus leaf span and sanderianum can have a 60 inch leaf span, so make sure you have room to fit it in to a collection. Once you get it blooming you will likely have nice tall spikes carrying three to four flowers with very long petals and nice striping on the dorsal. Hope this helps.

It shouldn't be too different from other multiflorals, likes moderate temperatures and bright light. It may actually like light similar to that for catts and phragmipediums rather than that which suits most other paphs. give it a coarse bark mixture that will only need to replaced every two years as the sanderianum in the background is reluctant to grow after having its roots disturbed and this trait may be present in its offspring. give it a balanced mild fertilizer solution once every other week or so and make sure you give it higher humidity and air movement than other paphs, something similar to that for vandas, if the leaves get very large you may grow it in a hanging basket with vandas to let the leaves hang over the sides as well as the long petals.

It may take anywhere from one to three years before it blooms depending on hoe it reacts to the change in its environment and your conditions. will not be too long til bloom as long as you can take care of it.
