| Tommy,
It sounds like your Paph needs a good repotting. They do not tolerate stale or decomposing mix well. For this reason i repot every Paph every year. Even if it doesn't look like it needs it. Because Paphs take more time than some other orchids to outgrow their pots, I find I frequently repot a Paph back into the same size pot it was in before.
Regarding the mix, I use: medium size bark chips, coir chips, perilite, and charcoal along with ground peat, chopped sphag, and if available some coarse sand and shredded oak leaves. The goal wiht Paphs is gentle, even, constant moisture at the roots. Never dry or soggy. Some people (like tom499) prefer a drier mix for Paphs. This necessitates more frequent watering especially in warmer or drier months.
Before repotting, i water the plant heavily and if the pot is plastic I squeeeze it back and forth to losten things up a little then gently pull the plant out. Don't attempt to clean the roots off. If mix is sticking to them leave it.
Let us know how it goes!
cheers!
