I have one too!! They are really lovely, aren't they? Can anyone tell me why mine flowered in december?

Hedge, I think they flower any time of year... but based on when the fan matures rather than anthing to do with seasonal changes.

I think as long as the temps are high enough where you keep it that it does not go dormant it could flower any time.

Hi Tindomul,

I have the same one. I also bought from Trader Joe's last year. My tag says "paph.(makuli-curtisii)maudiae x maudiae'napa valley' HCC/AOS x SIB".
I bought it in bloom in November last year. It is growing and very healthy. I hope mine will rebloom.

Congrtulations on your purchase!

Thuy

Mine is in medium bark, gets east window light and is behind a curtain mornings in the summer, pressed up against the glass on winter days as long as it doesn't get too cool. doesn't seem to mind about too much ventilation, but then none of my windows meet recommended standards for draught proofing :lol: . I have it on a pebble tray with several other Paphs and humidity is normally around 50%. Min night time temp is 12 deg c in winter, max day time is 25 so far this year. I feed with a proprietary feed and use rainwater or tap water if I have let it stand. I usually water weekly, and sometimes more often, and I feed 2 or 3 times a month.

Hope that helps!

I have no idea what to do with paph. This is my first and only paph. I treat it the same as phals except I water it little more than phals. If it reblooms for me, then I will know I treated right ;)
