Leafspan of a blooming sized Paph. gratrixianum Male
Default Leafspan of a blooming sized Paph. gratrixianum

I have a Paph. gratrixianum with an 8 inch leafspan and he biggest leaf is about 1/4 to 1/2 an inch wide. A place with paph data sheets says this about Paph. gratrixianum leaves: Leaves: 4-8, up to 30 cm long, 2-4 cm wide, above green, below purple-spotted at base.

How far away is my plant from blooming? And do individual leaves really get up to 30 cm (about a foot) long? If so, a mature plant could have a leafspan of about 2 feet? Or is this incorrect? Thanks.

So your gratrixianum has individual leaves that are 4", is that correct?

I have a gratrixianum with four fans of which two have bloomed. The leafspan of those are ca 15"-15.5" and the leaves are ca 1"-1.5" wide (but then my gratrixianum has unusally wide leaves).

This means that the leaves are not 30cm on my gratrixianum but more something like 18-20cm long, although it wouldn't surprise me if they could be longer (maybe not on my clone though).

Yes, it has individual leaves that are 4 to 5 inches long. How long from blooming? I was thinking around 2-3 years.
