Paphiopedilum spicerianum

[Hummer344]

I received the above plant from Oak Hill last year. I repotted it soon after receiving it(4/08). It threw two new growths and bloomed from the old growth. Reading about paph's in the forum I see where they need to be re-potted frequently. Question is, does this plant need to be re-potted again. Its been less than a year.
Thanks
David

I've heard once a year for most Paphs- It's a beauty! Very nice form!

I repot mine in early spring. they dont like a sour mix at all.
Yours looks good is it from the hybrid project?

Once a year is plenty. Unless a problem some were.
they are a very nice and easy grower.
Well done

David, the rule of thumb that I usually recommend is once a year in spring or after it flowers, whichever comes first.

Thanks for the replys. I will wait a few months then re-pot it

Lyle,
Yes, this plant is from the Hybrid project.
