I apologize in advance if this isn't the correct forum thread for this topic.
I have 10 beautiful little Paph seedlings. I'll post a pic this evening when I get home from work.
Words of wisdom dealing with young Paphs would be greatly appreciated. I've been told that they need some special care, but not exactly what care....

Thank you in advance
Liana

Any idea on what they are? Just keep them moist and in low light. High humidity really, really helped my paph seedlings. And pure water helps too.

Yes! 2 are species: armenicum and venustum. The others are hybrids, I'll have to look when I get home.
I have them with my Pluerothallids. Light and humidity should be fine on that front.

The venustum and hybrids should be pretty easy to care for. Armeniacum can be a bit touchy. Some people like to put it in a wood basket with bark mix and water every day or every other day. This is because it can produce long rhizomes between growths and can grow out the sides of the basket instead of out the bottom of pot holes. You can leave it potted though, just keep it a little drier and cooler in winter.

I have a heap of seedling paphs at the moment. How seedling are you talking? If they are only recently deflasked they will need quite high humidity but watch out for mould.

Thank you for the wisdom The Orchid Boy. I'll keep an eye on the arminiacum.

Green Garden, these babies range in size from about 1" in leaf span on each side to about 3". One is very small and it is NOID unfortunately.

I intend to get some pictures, but have been working late and caring for a landslide of Pleurothallids.... it's a long story involving a local orchidist closing out a greenhouse.

I am one lucky, overwhelmed person at the moment!

Liana,

Have you read these:
Slipper Articles

More specifically:
Quick Start - Buying and Growing Your First Paph.

It is extremely useful when I started with Paphs.
