I grow in the paph/phrag mix from repotme.com its a blend of coconut, different rock chips and i think a little charcoal.

I grow almost all of my paphs under t5 lights with 12 hours of light/day I've had really great results. Haven't lost a paph yet (fingers crossed) and i have a bunch of blooms.

Very Nice! I have mine under a T8 light. I have other orchids under T5. I thought they would be to bright for a paph. Shows what I know. how far is it from the light?

I just had my one flower for the first time this week and for some reason the petals are not as large as yours or held as wide open. Delighted all the same, maybe next year.

Because this plant is short its about a foot or so away from the lights but other plants are closer just because they're taller.

Sukhakulii can take light anywhere from 1800-2500 fcs. That's near Catt light. I grow mine under T5s with no issues.

It really doesn't take up much room in a collection and very worthwhile, I feel.
