Today I had to run an errand for my mum and on my way back I wandered off track into an orchid nursery in Happy Garden. Came back with two unIDed paphs and a delenatii.
Here is the family: ![]() ![]() Paph 1. Large leaved plant. Paph growers here, guys what is your guess? ![]() ![]() Another unknown. ![]() This is a delenatii, says the tag. I know they're infamous for refusing to flower but I'm giving it a try anyway. ![]() Niveum ![]() My infamous slow-growing niveum. Although something's telling me it's not a niveum, probably concolor? ![]() Barbatum I've repotted these plants in clay pots. Initially they came in soft plastic pots like those used for growing commercial Phals. The mix for delenatii and niveum are rock chips, perlite, coco chips, sphagnum and a bit of small particle charcoal. For the barbatum and the other paphs, less of rock chips but higher portion of coco chips and vermiculite, and sphagnum. Any feedback is appreciated. Please advise, thanks!
