Paph Julius Care
 
The place I bought it said bright but indirect light, keep it moist but not damp and 75-80F day and 65-75F night. Is this accurate? anymore in depth information on what they like? Also, they said fertilize 2-3 times a month at half strength...

The bad news is that it has lost 2 of 4 buds since getting home, I assume stress and heat of travel...

I grow my paphs a bit brighter than my phals. They do really well under T5 lights. Mine get watered twice a week in the heat of the summer and once a week in the winter. I feed with every watering. 125ppm N. :goodluck:

You sure know how to pick them, gorgeous primary slipper.
Your tempts sound pretty close to mine with these 2 paphs. I grow most of my paphs in catt lighting. As the summer and warmer tempts get going ... I reduce the lighting somewhat and keep them very moist (not wet)
Our summers here can get very humid and hot, fanning should be done or they tend to stress with the high light levels, and turn yellow.
I fertilize twice per month at full stength @ 8-7-6 , keep them in a peat base mix.

Sorry to here about the buds, try to keep them cooler, fanning will help.

:D
