I have Paph. emersonii that is 16-18" LS. I am wondering anybody here that grow this species successfully and bloomed?? Mine grow very slow and wondering if there is a way to maximize the growing condition to speed up the growth rate. I grow mine in shaded south windowsill, intermediate temperature and regular paph. mix.
Paph emersonii is almost universally acknowledged as one of the most difficult paphs to grow over a period of time. They, by nature, are slow growers but are fairly easy to bloom. Your plant is of decent size so if it is growing you are doing quite well.
