Default help needed

Hallo
My name is Peter and I have been growing orchids for about 3 years now.
However I have a problem with Paph's. For some reason they al die within 6
months. At the moment i have 3 left, one of them has a 6 month garantee and
it looks like I will need it.
I can keep vanda's, cattleya's, dendrobiums, miltonia, oncidium, gongora,
stanhopea...
Just my paph's and also my phalaenopsis dont seem to like me.
I dont know why but all the roots of my phal. dry up, and very few new grow
back.
My paph's just stop growing and start loosing therre leaves one by one.

I consider this problem a challenge and will keep on trying to grow these
pikheaded plants. There is just one more problem. the Paph's are getting
more and more expensive. As a child ten years ago my mother bought them for
about $5 a piece now those same plants cost 5 somtimes even 10 times as
much.

So if anyone knows where I can get a few cheap ones to experement with it
would be very helpfull.
I would be gratefull for any advice or Idea's.
