Paph taking the plunge
I have a Paph Minnie May x Maudiae 'Clair de Lune' which has 4 growths. It finished blooming mid October 2007 (still has one that hasn't bloomed) and after that the medium started to get fuzzy and became inhabited by some "visitors". I decided to refresh the medium and found out that either the growths had separated or that there were two plants (the former is much more likely though). I decided to pot them separately at that time. Last weekend I when I was out hunting for some medium bark I found a small bag of LECA pebbles and decided to take it home and take the plunge.
While I could have chosen the Dtps Queen Beer I decided to be safe and repot the paph with the two old growths into semi hydro. While it's probably waaaaay to early to comment on how it's going to behave I did see that it looks very perky compared to its younger sister. I think it's happy so far. The most obvious is the way it holds its leaves up instead of resting them on the side of the pot.
