Do not be in a hurry to divide Paphiopedilums. It is common that they do not grow roots under each new fan, till the fan is 12-24 months old. This is:
  1. Partly the way they grow
  2. Partly a sign that the plant is not potted deep enough. The root crown should be about 3/8" to 1/2" below the surface of the potting mix. That way new roots develop into the higher humidity environment of the mix. If new roots break above the surface, they are likely to become stunted and abort.
