Paphs definitely like being root-bound...in general, use the smallest pot you can get away with that will enclose all the roots and enough medium to reach up to the base of the leaves. There are...

Wet, gloppy stuff that is more like pond muck than bark. No longer distinct pieces of bark media. Generally wet and dark, moisture retentive, anoxic and possibly stinky...believe me, you'll know bad...

Good! One of the advantages of phrags is their tolerance of poor media....the kind that would be near instant death for a paph is still perfect for a phrag. On the other hand, phrags also appreciate...

For stupidly easy begiiner phrags, you can't beat the bessea hybrids...particularly Mem Dick Clements, Eric Young, Sgt. Eric and Jason Fischer. All grow fast, bloom young, bloom yearly. If space...

Both phrags are easy to keep...especially the Schroderae. Between the 2, besseae will take lower light and more moisture. I am not a fan of semi-hydro with phrags. My standard phrag mix is bark...

The only way to get a true blue paph, or any other orchid, is through genetic engineering. The "true" blue color we hope to find in a flower is usually produced by the chemical delphinidin. Its a...

I haven't done any breeding myself, but I'm sure that crosses have been made between the new and old lines. I have also found that the newer clones tend to be much smaller plants, for the most part....

Sorry, I haven't had much luck with sanderianum. While its hybrids are frequently vigorous, sand itself is slow as you-know-what. They grow slowly, and then (for me) just die. I have been able to...
