Paph Rooting Question
 
Arboreal orchids I know of seem happy in clear plastic pots because their roots are adapted to open-air living. Is the same true for Paphs and other terrestrials, or would their roots be happier in darkness?

I have grown the vast majority of my Paphs in clear pots. Not because they "prefer it", or so they can photosynthsize (they don't), but because I can see what's happening better!
