hi casey,
i grow it in my orchid house as well, but i put it close to the floor because they only need 20-30% light intensity, if you give them more there is a tendency of the leaves yellowing and die. the most important thing about paphio is to know the original habitat. for example, niveum and barbatum usually grows in leaf litter close to rocky mountains. so, in your potting medium you have to include some mountain rock chips (i use granite chips), if not it is very hard to get them to bloom.
