In my experience and conditions, they seem to do best with an airy mix. I've used bark mixes, CHC and S/H. I currently have most in CHC, which they seem to like as long as I flush every other watering. CHC seems to get fertilizer build up quickly.
I keep them in the smallest pot I can squeeze the roots in, and use the tallest container I can find. I use foam peanuts or rocks on the 1st inch or so of the bottom of the pot to help with drainage.
Paphs take real well to S/H, but I find I have to water frequently(like every other day).
What are you thinking of getting?
Good Luck, Bill
