I have a Paphiopedilum armeniacum. There are three young runners. The small,
bottom leaves became brown. Besides, the old runner which had flower before became brown too. What is this? Paph. armeniacum is not the easiest species for beginners. Since its growth habit resembles a strawberry, you might do better with it in a wide shallow pot or even a basket. What type of potting medium are you using? The brown leaves on the young runners indicate a problem at the roots. Your potting medium may be too soggy. Check the roots. On the other hand, it is perfectly normal for Paph. growths to die off after they bloom. Cut off the dead leaves with a sterile razor blade, but don't remove the old stub until you are sure the newer growths have their own roots. If you have any further orchid questions, e-mail me direct. Iris, Central NY, Zone 5a, Sunset Zone 40 "If we see light at the end of the tunnel, It's the light of the oncoming train."

help!!!
You can also get tons of help and information from the American Orchid
Society, at www.orchidweb.org. Maybe. Their culture sheets are full of errors. I offered to correct them, but so far none of the corrections have been printed that I know of. Now I know this sounds beyond arrogant, but I have been growing orchids under fluorescent lights for almost 30 years, & the experts at AOS are only familiar with growing orchids in greenhouses or in Florida.
