yeah the molted plants are paphs the three single growths are maudie no-ids from a local nursery and the multi growth is the armeni white jane gave me :) My other molted plants are the two schillys but i dont know if you can see them in those pictures.

Ahh I remember when I had that many:hmm a long time ago.;) Well done Marco

Nice set up Marco, my husband changed mine all around from a set up similar to yours on a table to metal shelves... :banana:. They do look ":D :D :D " What is the light duration on your chids.

Marco, looks like a multiple shelves on that window won't be too far away! ;)

Your plants look very happy in S/H, have you had any negative experiences yet? Are you using Prime-Agra or a different expanded clay?

Thanks Cheryl and Dave :)

Cheryl - The lights are on 12-14 hours a day + direct eastern exposure for about 3 hours in the morning.

Dave - yup have 2 negative experiences when I first started

1) not running plain water through the medium. resulted in mineral build up and root loss

2) not allowing the prime agra to drain excess water into the well. resulted in root rot. I think the excess water in the pellets didn't allow the media to wick properly

Alright well, I won't be around in the chat rooms that much anymore. I've been trying to avoid responsibility at work by running this sweet 3 day weekend schedule. I got pulled in by 2 partners in the past 2 weeks about "when I'm taking my test and when I'm going to start full time". The staggered schedule and too care free mentality of college life is meant to expire eventually. :_(

I'll be popping my head in and out every now and then though with pictures if any paphs ever decide to bloom on me. :poke:

Seriously, reality bites. :angry:

Reality does bite, unfortunately we can't escape it. gl to u. Am sure we will be seeing your pictures soon it's amazing with reality time flying goes hand and hand ... :lol: we'll see your blooms before you know it.

Nice Marco. I had the same experience with salt buildup and root/leaf die back when i was using the hand sprayer to water. It was not leaching enough and the salts built up to toxic levels. I'm glad I realized it before i lost my plants.

Marco, just wait till retirement! Then you'll have evcen less time :biggrin:

:shock: Is there any place left to do your homework? Or you are studying on the floor?

Nice healthy plants you have there!
:drool: neofinetia....I must get some japanese cultivars

Nice and healthy looking plants. So I got to ask since it will be awhile before any of my slippers are big, who are the large ones in the far corner in the first photo?

I like the Neofinetia, their leaves remind me of my Sarcochilus I just got somewhere.

Thanks everyone.

Barbara, the large ones in the first picture are

- paph. eva weigner
- paph. temptation
- paph. michael koopowitz
- paph. (philipinense x hirsutissimum var. furling)

Oh my, you have a MK that's large...ok I'm impressed. :shock: And jealous.:lol:

:cheer: :cheer:
