My experience with parvis shows that they like warmth & moisture during the
summer and very cool & evenly moist w/ slight drying during the winter.
Down into the 50s at night during the winter seems to do more good than
harm. The seem to like medium light, but a little morning sun seems to do
them good. Also, try cutting back on the fertilizer (maybe 1/4 strength or
less) and add a little calcium to the water if you don't water with hard-
ish water. Parvis are definately not like other mottled-leaved paphs!

My armeniacum has gone from 1 growth, which bloomed for me as a single
growth plant, to 8 blooming-sized growths in 4 years (bloomed once since
the first flowering). Looking forward to this one when it blooms again.

My micranthum, Lynleigh Koopowitz, Wossner's Pearl, and (micranthum x
concolor) all respond well to this treatment, too. The (micranthum x
concolor) is spiking right now. When I bought it, it had an incredibly
deep solid purple flower. Hoping it does the same this time.
