we have had good luck with micranthum in semi-hydro. actually, for all paphs we recommend potting in s/h if you are comfortable trying it out. just takes all the guess work out of watering and such. flush 2x per week. easy. keep res full. easy.
in our apartment we placed it in pretty high light - a south window off to one side. got a couple hours of sun in the morning but not enough to burn it, the rest of the time in shade. kept it in pretty high light for most of the winter and now that its getting warm again it moves into our northwest facing window which seems to be great for paphs in summer.
our apartment got cold this winter, but it bloomed in november or so before it was real cold. the temp drops seemed to push it to start a new fan, which is growing slowly and steadily. temps were down around 13 c at night. they are slowish growers, so don't fret if growth is slow or it takes awhile to begin a new fan after flowering.
all in all, pretty good starter paphs that don't seem too fussy. good luck!!
