First Paph for me too! :-D
I just got my first Paph yesterday! It's a Paph. Macabre x
Paph. Ruby Leopard 'Red Flame' We went to Venamy Orchids yesterday to visit. http://orchidsusa.com/cultureguide.html I was there just to look Fantastic place! I walked around and around and around... Somehow, just somehow, this precious little Lady Slipper came home with me. Actually, two did but I gave the other to my DH's SIL as a gift. I've always been fascinated by the wild Pink Lady's Slipper which grows in the woods around here (Cypripedium acaule). This little beauty is allllllmost ready to bloom. The tag in the pot says: ******************************************** Repot Spring 04 Paph. orchid (Lady Slipper) Temperatu day 70-85F, night 55-70F Shaded south or west WINDOWSILL Water once a week early in the day Fertilize 3 weeks out of 4 ******************************************** The owner of the greenhouse said to alternate a 3-12-6 (for blooms) and a 7-9-5 (for growth) every other week of the month. The last week of the month use plain water. I purchased "Dyna-Gro" Liquid Bloom and Liquid Grow so I can do as was recommended. I hope I do right by this little one. Ruth CM |
