My paphs aren't sending up spikes

[boisemomma]

I have 4 paphs, all mottled leaved ones,they have bloomed in the past (2012) but not this year. The only change I can see is I have gone from the windowsill to a lighted set up..they get 12 hrs of light,daily misting,medium is kept moist and fertilized weekly,weakly with 4th week off...maybe I'm too nice now?? My phals get the same treatment and they bloom so I dont get the temper tantrum with the paphs....

I wouldn't worry about it too much, just keep them happy and growing and they'll bloom when they're ready. What kind of mottled-leaf Paphs are they? Maudiae-types, Brachys, Parvis, etc?

I don't have a lot of Paphs but I have heard that they don't necessarily bloom once a year. For some of them, their new fans take more than a year to mature. They won't bloom until they are mature.

When we're they last repotted?

[Carpe Diem]

I have the same problem, not even my Pinocchio is spiking. There were no changes of any kind. I repotted about a month ago and they are doing great, but no sign of any future blooms.

Most of my Paphs don't start blooming until autumn. Only sukhakulii blooms all the time.

I repotted them all after they last bloomed in 2012..

[quiltergal]

When in 2012? The new growths just may not be mature enough yet.
