Paphiopedilum micranthum

[Kipper1]

Hi all, Been a lurker for a while and this is my first post. It's a little Paph. micranthum. I am growing it in a wire egg basket because a saw a post on another forum where a guy grew parvisepalums in wire baskets due to their habit of spreading by stolons rather than basal growths. The result was that the plants had entirely covered the basket in a few years creating a ball of paphoipedilum. It was fantastic. The center pic is horrible (cell phone) but you can see the lovely spots inside the pouch. Kipper

Very nice. Blooming this species is not an easy task.

awesome thanks for this post. I have one of these and I need to put it in a basket because of the Runner things.

What Temps have you kept it in?
