Paph. delenatii 4 spikes, 7 buds

[Paphluvr]

The buds aren't all fully opened yet, but I thought I'd get some pictures of it anyway. The ones that have opened seem a bit smaller than usual. Windowsill grown.

Well done. How long have you been growing this?

A long time. Sorry I can't be any more specific. The earliest date that I show on my re-pot tag is 2006 and I can't remember where or when I got this one.

I have another division of this same plant that is slightly smaller and is also carrying 4 spikes, just not as far along.

I find that for my conditions, dryer and brighter than normal Paph. culture is the trick. I don't give it any particular rest period and my winter night temp. in the house is 58°F.

Do you remember how big was the plant back in 2006?
You have divided it and both divisions are blooming with 4 spikes? The original plant must have been quite big to begin with?

It seems like a super clone, right?

Thanks for the beautiful pictures to look at.

Oh, and how many fans are on this plant?

I have Armenit White with about 10 growths and last time it bloomed with 2 spikes and 4 flowers.
It now has quite a few unbloomed fans that I hope will shoot up lots of spikes, but I don't think I ever have more than three spikes at a time.

How do you grow yours? you mentioned windowsill.
what exposure, how much light, watering, fertilizing, and anything else you do.

Many thanks in advance!
