Paph. spicerianum

Here it is...arrived 3/30/08. Repotted 4/7/08.

*Leaf Count : 4 (with two new babies coming up on the sides)
*Leaf Span : 5"
*Growing Conditions: Potted with bark/perlite homemade mix with polished rocks at the bottom for drainage. On the south wall with a small roof lip giving it full time shade. 70% to 90% humidity (lots of rain recently).

Had problems with excessive rain. The mix was too old or broken down and would hold water. I didn't notice on time and the Paph. was suffering...it got a bit crinkled...so I took it out and set out on a open table with a semi-shaded area. I removed some rotten roots, spray a light solution of Phaysan on them and repotted it in a brand new mix. It doesn't look any better but doesn't look any worse either.

Hi Damien! I'm bumping your thread because I noticed that you had two little pups starting when you got your plant. It's been about a month now and I've noticed very little happening with mine. Of course, it's been unseasonably cool here and nothing's growing much.

Have you seen any growth yet in yours?
