I have two vini-colours in tiny tiny pots of bark. I'm pretty sure they are doing well as I can see the roots through the side. I think they need bigger pots now, one of them is straining the sides, but I'm worried to pot up because I don't want to end up with the same problem. I think this one might go in a smaller pot at some point so I can feel more confident about it.

Since I'm so new to the Paph genus and thus unable to tell when to water just by lifting the pots, I followed the great advice I got about using skewers in the pots. Now I've skewered (sounds, bad, doesn't it?
) my entire Paph collection and so far it seems to work.
