Took the plunge, purchased my first Paph.
Hi all,
THis is the first time I have bought a Paph. I have one that my wife got me at a farmer's market, but this feels different since I did the choosing. I looked at the requirments and thought I could handle it.
Its a P. micranthemum which I hope to place in my terrarium. It will go in a ABG mix (Atlanta Botanical Garden mix) substrate. This substrate stays moist but never wet mainly due to the way I constructed the terrarium. The tank also stays cool with temps in the 70's. In the cold winter maybe the temps will go down to mid 60's at night and in the summer temps will reach mid 80's. Lots of ventilation in there too.
Anyone have any advice on this one?
Here is the plant I got, from ebay.
