3 plus a singleton emerging.
I really like the color, so this one's a keeper. |

So what about the care is different from others? I think I have figured out "most phrags." But the only Paph that is truly happy with me is a Drurii cross I have, and that one likes to get treated like phrags. So now I am separating paphs into "treat like phrags" (long green only leaves), and "weird hard to understand" (mottled leaf paphs).

Mottled leaved Paphs tend to grow in limestone cliffs and may do better with some marble mixed into the potting media or with some extra CalMag incorporated into the fertilizer regime.

We have really hard water here lots of calcium, but I will try the cal-mag in RO. Thanks. |

Or just switch to a fertilizer containing it - K-Lite has the most @ 10%, followed by the MSU RO formula @ 8%, the Peters Excel Cal-Mag @ 5%. |
