Default Paph. Hangianum

I am sorry for my explanation. As i am just a chinese student, my english is
not pretty well. Thanks for all guesses. And i must thank J Fortuna, he/she
guess correctly. My meaning is how can i grow hangianum well under
Ultra-Violet.

Ray,

Being a foreigner myself, I know how hard it is to explain some things if
one does not have the proper words. Here are a few guesses as to what

Dicky
may be asking:

1) Is it possible to grow Paph Hangianum under Ultra-Violet lamps?
2) Is it possible to grow Paph Hangianum under the light conditions of
African violets?
3) Can you think of any other "violet light" other than UV or African

violet
light conditions (I can't)? If you can, can you provide some terms for

Dicky
to choose from, so that he can better phrase his question?
4) Since Dicky is specifically addressing this question to you, have you
either on your Web site or in any of your posts commented on Paph

Hangianum
and its light conditions? If so, could this question somehow be understood
in the context of what you have posted?

Also, in case you are wondering, I think it is quite likely that even

though
Dicky is having trouble phrasing the question, once we have helped him
figure out how to phrase it, he may be able to understand the answer quite
well. My knowledge of Italian is like that: I can speak or write only very
little in the language, but I can usually understand enough when I hear or
read something in Italian to know the gist of what has been said or

written.

Building a phrase in a foreign language that one is not fluent in is so
much harder than understanding the same phrase when presented to one by
someone else. And asking questions about orchids can be even harder

because
the terminology that one needs to use is often not familiar even to native
speakers of English who just do not have experience conversing about
orchids. How many times have we seen newbies ask questions like "What do I
do with the flower stem once my orchid has stopped blooming?" -- spike or
inflorescence are not really words in English, they are technical terms in
the orchid or gardening specific jargon.

Best,
Joanna

Please excuse me, but I don't know what you're asking.
