    Default loss of contrast in paph

    When the varigation in a paph's leaves fades - the 'white" is turning greenish - is it too much light or not enough?

    it is an otherwise very healthy plant, beautiful in bloom right now....just curious

    mottled leaf paphs given too much light tend to turn lighter in color and have less pronounced mottling. those grown in deep shade have gorgeous mottling and are dark green. the medium is ideal for blooming and leaves.
