Season of Paphiopedilum (Subgenus)

Was watering my slipper orchid earlier on, and this is what I discovered. Quite a number of vejvarutianum bloomed last year during Sept to Nov. This time round, they came a little late, but am happy to see approximately 5 pots with spikes. Attached below 2 photos taken today.



Besides vejvarutianum, there were another 2 pots that caught my attention. Don't want to name it right now, but will share more when they bloom successfully. I have not been very successful when come to this, they spiked last year but all 4 blasted. I have now 1 pot with 3 spikes coming out and another pot with 2 spikes coming out.

can you see any spikes?
Here you are!

Another 2 disappointment.. Sigh!

This is really not the right season for multifloral, I was excited when seeing them spiking, but the hot and dry weather had deterred their growing, with only 2 buds!! Anyway, I will wait for next year! Hopefully to be able to see better bloom..

New way of potting..

Tried a new way of potting recently about 1 to 2 months back. And am happy with the outcome. 

Can you see the new root? 2 months after repotting, with only NZ barks and lecas.

First timer after 2 years of growing! I am truly excited! Hope to see it bloom successfully!


Paph Lalita x thaianum

Paph Lalita x thaianum

Potted all my Lalita x thaianum, all of them are very small, but are adults actually. Since they don't take up a lot of small, might as well just pot them together first.. Ha
