Good to know since this has two little ones coming along nicely. I honestly have little idea about these. I did look up the picture of Ho Chi Minh today and ooh la la! I had no idea I'd picked such a pretty one...lucky me! lol

I'm going to try and do what they told me at the store. They said these must be repotted every year, and I should only use pure distilled water with organic fertilizer as they hate build-up. I'll do my best...but the chances aren't good for it. lol

Maybe that's the reason my paphs don't perform. One of the local grower here told me once that most orchids like to repotted regularly, except Paphs, they seemed to be happy with old media.

Maybe upnorth they can get away with not repotting, but here it means fungus and bugs generally. I'm forever repotting things.
