When will my Paph bloom again?

PAPHIOPEDILUM: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
You have to be patient when the plant you purchased in flower is done flowering, because it needs to mature another growth before it can flower again, unless it is a sequential bloomer from the section Cochlopetalum (see following paragraph). Your plant will also take a bit of time to adjust to your growing conditions, and your potting medium if you choose to repot it after flowering (which is always a good idea).

How big does my Paph have to be to bloom?

PAPHIOPEDILUM: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Predicting blooming size by leaf span can be difficult, as there is not only tremendous variation between the different species, but clonal variation within a species. Differing growing conditions between growers can also produce 'blooming size' plants at different rates. Also, vendors have independent ideas about what constitutes 'blooming size', based on their particular growing conditions. Obviously only limited generalizations can be made within ranges as wide apart as the diminutive Paph.

The bottom leaf on my Paph is starting to turn yellow, what's wrong?

What kind and size of pot will my Paph grow best in?

PAPHIOPEDILUM: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Rather pot them so that the roots just comfortably fit into the pot, like a hat on your head: snug enough to stay on but not uncomfortably tight. The other consideration in a pot for Paphs is that it have sufficient drainage.
