Hi Khairim, you have exquisitely beautiful plants . If you don't mind sharing, may I know what potting mix ratio you are using for these beauties? I don't have much luck with even lowland paphios because of some unidentified factor.

To funkychips

I used perlite + coral for the media of my paphiopedilum.
I watered them as usual by using automatic watering system.

When you see the flower spike. you must isolate the flowering paphio . Change your watering technique. Use tray method as what we did to CP. If not, the flower spikes will rot.

Fertilizer : used 1/3 or 1/4 from manufacturer recommendation.

I noticed that tillandsia, nepenthes and paphiopedilum share the same fertilizer concentration dilution.

Tarence: promise to you for the skecth of auto watering technique. Please give me some time to prepare it. Just finished my hari raya holiday lar.

Regards
Khairimhd
