When to move paphs to s/h?
I understand one of the key components to a successful switch is making sure there is new root growth. I'm doing pretty well with my phals and oncs in that respect. But how do I know when paphs are growing new roots?
I have three paphs all with different stages of growth on their new fans. Is there a standard size of the new fan when you know it has sufficient root growth or do I just have to un-pot periodically and poke around?
Thanks!

I agree with Ray. I move all my Paphs into S/H the day I bring them home. I've moved Paphs into S/H when they were in flower anf they never skipped a beat.
Cheers.

Seriously? That's great to hear. I can't wait to switch them over and I thought it was potentially going to take forever.
Thanks  |

After reading that Phaps can be moved anytime this morning, I just finished moving two of my mini Phaps into s/h. Now I'm excited about watching thrive in s/h.
