Susan, he said Paph, not Phal. I've never seen that on any of my
paphs, but I guess it's possible.

Richard: Unless you are growing them in completely optimal
conditions, paphs tend not to successfully grow any roots unless the
base of the growth is in potting mix. If it has already tried to
start growing roots then it is probably large enough to cut it off of
the main plant and put it in a pot.

You are so correct. I looked at the links someones paph and phal then
read this and transposed the words.

it is another thing... LOL).
