So I have the two that are growing well at least ... I'll keep at them a while more. |
I did have one paph that died on me. It was a nice maudia type, but very unusual coloration and I loved that one.
It was growing two new fans fine, but then one leaf started to brown from the end. I thought (and hoped) it was a natural aging thing, but it turned out some kind of rot. I dipped the whole thing in hydrogen peroxide, but it didn't help. I ended up tossing that plant.
Now I have one vini ( and it is my favorite vini) that only grew two very small leaves in the last 13 months. this is unsual because all other maudiae paphs grow much much faster.
I suspect virus setting plants back. plan to have this plant tested to see if that is the case.
If you have those tropical dendrobium along with complex hybrid paphs, the paphs may not get enough cooling to set buds unless you grow your dendrobium on the rather cooler side for them.

The (niveum x Pinnocchio) sounds like an interesting hybrid. Maybe pictures would help?
For me delenatii is easy to bloom. It was my very first paph. I have it in a clay pot in a 50/50 sphagnum and fine bark mix. If it has 4 fans it is definitely blooming sized. The leafspan on mine is 8 inches. They can bloom with leafspans of 6 inches. Mine bloomed with one growth.

Your delenatii sounds really big. the ones I've seen in bloom were all super mini size.

[QUOTE=RJSquirrel;555699]nice paphs there york buddy
..I love the white one!!! Im going all white. You just cant top a perfect white paph flower. So nice to have some flowers in the windows.
Thanks!
I like how small the whole plant is and lots of growths it makes. I wish the dorsal was not so droopy. Other than that, I'm alright with that plant.
I have some other white paphs, but with much larger and better flowers for me.
but they are also bigger plants which take up lots of space.
