Correct size S/H pot
Hello all;
I just rescued a Paph. 'Maude's Ruby' from a local nursery I plan to switch to S/H. It currently is in a pot 3.25 x 3.25 x 4 in. high (8 x 8 x 9 cm.).
It has 2 roots about 2.5 in (5 cm) long. What would be the correct size for S/H ?
Thanks.
Cheers.
Jim

I can't help you out, but I just wanted to respond so that this gets bumped back up. I hope Ray will give you some great advice. Good Luck

I'd put it in one of my 4.5" pots.

Hey there Jim, I have the same Paph. and I repotted it in one of Ray's pots in s/h and its doing great. Mine was in bud when I recieved it and took some time to bloom but the flower lasted a long time. Its got new growth and roots coming.
