| Looks good, what mix did you decide on for it? I am pondering a hairy rooted repot of my own lol.

| I am using Schultz's orchid mix soaked with worm tea on most of my chids right now. I have tried a couple other things, but I'm happy with this so-far. I add a little chopped sphag on plants that need a little more moisture, like this one. I may change down the road, but for now, this is working for me.  I used some "ghost-poop" in the bottom for drainage- aka -packing styrofoam.

| Yes, Mine has the small rocks in it, too. It's good for me as I like to water a lot, and the rocks drain a lot! I put ghost- poop in the bottom, also-  I'm growing this one under grow-lights.. T-12's

| That looks great Patti. Paph. spicerianum is one of my all-time favorites, here's what you can look forward to.

| Update 7/19/08- Not much bigger, (gotta LOVE these Paphs!) but there's been a little progress! I'm not holding my breath for bloom any time soon.

| Update...10/03/08 My Paph. spicerianum is in spike! The picture is a little blurry, but I was too lazy to set up a tri-pod. I'll take a better picture when it opens!

| Lol! Yes, that's my Paph. Yabba Dabba Doo x Paph. Hsinying Web. I think it's going to look like that forever....It's been growing so much slower than any Paph that I have. I plead with it all the time.

| Patti, looks like you are doing well with your orchids. So many in bud/spike. I can't wait for this one to blooms. Green is my favorite!

| Thanks, Solay! I'm pretty happy with the little guys right now. It's so rewarding after a hard day to come home to see them!

| I'm happy for you too. It's so rewarding when you finally get blooms. I'm keeping my eye on a Catt. in bud. I will post when it opens. Don't want to jinks myself. Seems every time I get all excited about a possible spike or bud, something horrible happens to it.

| I'm happy about this little guy too.  I'm still amazed at how "little" the plant is overall. Photos are deceiving as they are cropped to all look so similar in size.  I thought I had a long wait until this guy would bloom.

| congratulations Patti, I can't wait to see the flower. My Spicerianum var giganteum is very slow, but has just started growing a new leaf. Movement at last.
