Paphs seem to be 'cool, dim and moist' A) but ask someone who really knows!!! for advice and B) each plant really does have its own little leafy personality....

on edit: Greenhouse?? Oooooo, now I'm really envious!! If you notice a middle-aged woman with a red sportscar stalking you, that's me - !
