Specific Paph/Phrag Care
Default Specific Paph/Phrag Care

I've kept paphs before, though it was a few years ago. Since then, I set up a greenhouse with proper heating and cooling equipment (50F night, 80F day). In it I grow Nepenthes, AKA tropical pitcher plants.

Lately I've been very intrigued by paphs and phrags, especially ones with usual marking / petal shapes / sizes. I've been eBay stalking the paph and phrag sections for the past week or two and today I came across a few and bought them since they had no bids on them.

List of what I bought...

- Paph rothschildianum 'Raye' x Paph rothschildianum 'Chester Hills' AM/AOS
- Paph moquettianum 'Pine Knot' x self
- Sanderianum 'Dark Beauty' x Sanderianum 'Newberry Tresses'
- Phrag. caudatum var. sanderae x Phrag. Majestic Tresses

All I remember are basics... I remember paphs like to be moist but not wet and phrags like more water. Maybe some more experienced folks can help me with some questions...

1. Upon receiving the plants in the mail, should I repot immediately or wait and give them a few months to adjust to my growing conditions?
2. All of the plants I bought were listed as 15"+, 16 and 16"+ leaf spans. Only one, the moquettianum, was listed as blooming size. In ideal conditions, how long might it take for them to bloom in their season?
3. Are there any great websites that list natural elevation/location/climate for species of paphs and phrags? I'm interested in knowing the temperature range they can tolerate.
