Bill, why are you holding back on the fertilizer? Paphs are not known for long periods of dormancy, and seedlings are usually encouraged to grow continuously in most species, since the dormancy and with holding fertilizer are usually followed carefully to encourage flowering, which seedling are too young for. Also, Paphs have no reservoir for water, and must not be allowed to dry out completely, at least that is what I have gleaned over the last few years, as I have only recently become a biggish Paph grower. Of course, I very much agree with the dilute fertilizer used on Paphs in general.
