Paphiopedilum Grow Guide
Listed below is Xavier Garreau de Loubresse's 2012 guide to Paphiopedilum cultivation. It is very extensive and thoroughly detailed for those that want an in-depth guide.
However as a quick run through, many Paphiopedilum can grow much faster than they typically do in cultivation but require proper consistent fertilizing. We offer one of the fertilizers used by SelectOrchids which makes things much easier, simply water it and occasionally use dolomite lime on the bark surface to balance the PH and to supply Ca/Mg. For root rot issues caused by phytophthora it is beneficial to use Scott's disease ex, it is not the most effective but it is inexpensive and does the job on mild issues.
