Default Re: Paphiopedilum/ Slipper orchid

paphioboy,

most orchid lover who saw the clump are impressed. The medium used are granite chips and fern chunk. i'll add some more lime stone to the pot, hopefully it will help with the micronutrient needed. the pot is exposed to rain, and at an area with very high humidity that is why there are some fungal growth on the leaves. but the fungal growth has been cleaned now by wiping the leaves one by one with neem oil solution. and, i've moved it to a sheltered area.

yes, i'd be happy to trade the division with ovalis! in fact, i've divided the niveum about 4 months back and i have a pot with healthy 4-5 shoots. so, i can collect the gracillimum as well when i come back from my next offshore trip. i will be going to work in a fews days, so i'm very sorry that i can't collect it within this week.

wah, will check the goodies at uncle sam next time in CH. thanks for the info paphioboy.
