7. NOID Paph....are all mottled leaved paphs Maudiae hybrids? And do Maudiae hybrids require extra calcium? I bought gallons and gallons of RO water until I can get a water quality report. Until then, it will be standard balanced ferts.

All of the paphs have multiple developing growths and are pretty good size. One is a first bloom and the others are previous bloomers. I am happy, happy, happy. Now to convert the office.

Definitely not all mottled leaf paphs are Maudiae type hybrids. Many of the brachypetalum types (belatulum for example) & parvisepalum types (denenatii is an example) have really nice mottled leaves--some much more so than the Maudiae ones. I've mentioned I don't like belatulum flowers on more than one occasion LOL but I love its leaves!

Cheers,
Rob

Thanks for the info Rob! I see that your fave is psychopsis. I just got home from an orchid show with one in tow. It's a pretty big plant with three spikes.
