Post root cleaning. The picture of the plant with 2-3 roots is the piece that snapped while I was cleaning. I promise I did not cut all the roots off or they did not all come off due to rotting. lol!!! The mother plant is the plant in the last picture. It has about 4 other growths on it.

All I can say is that I have not seen any other paph's with this much roots. I literally had to cut it out of the pot to get it out...But some of the roots were squishy slick feeling. ugh......not a good feeling.

19.00 on ebay, I actually had to cut the pot off of it it was in there so tightly, took me a good 30 min watering then slowly working out what roots were dead, what roots were alive and getting disentangled from each other enough so that I could see what to do with it lol. The other 2 that I have received had 2-4 super long roots and a few babies so needless to say I was shocked as well to see this. haha

Sounds like an interesting cross and it certainly is healthy.
