Hi again Ross
No, I can't get Paph mix.....but I may not need any if these 2 paphs don't start growing any faster than they are now.....after these two, my Paph-Growing-Career" may be finished. lol. Just kidding! All silliness aside, you mentioned Kelley's Korner for something I needed before, so I'll sure check them out.
Thanks for the url,
Vicki

I know you are looking for some advice on this paph .. so I looked for past threads and I have found 1 ..
Perhaps you can inquire about this paph to it's current owner
Paph. villosum
Mauro (Rosim_in_BR - our Cattleya King ![Wink](https://www.orchidboard.com/community/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif) ) also has a primary hybrid - one parent of it is villosum - Paphiopedilum villosum
Perhaps this will help you .. ![Smile](https://www.orchidboard.com/community/images/smilies/new/smile.gif)

thanks again Dorothy
Thank you for these links, too. I haven't had time to check them out, but I will. We just finished dinner and I finally got to sit down for a few mins., so now's my chance.

Hi Vicki,
I did leave that for you on another thread, just don't recall which one
Neem oil works very well, but boy does it smell bad.
I just keep going back to the plain ole dish soap and water - it's easy and dirt cheap and I always have it.
1 liter of water to 5ml of dish soap, spray down til run off and fan til dry.
