Paraphalaenopsis laycockii

[zainal abidin]

Nice!! Can you give some clues on how to grow?

Hi Monica for the above species it's very easy to grow and flower as the plant come from the lowland which can stand higher temperature. basically I will use fern slabs as they like it so much but you must spraying the water twice a day as the roots is easily dried. I will use small amount of sphagnum moss to protect and cover the roots as well as to maintain humidity so far they are happy with the technique. I wish you will get some idea.The photos below will assist you.

Very nice blooming of laycockii... The hybrid of laycockii I used to have also had a weird smell, like mothballs.

But the hybrid between V.dearei and P.denervi is awesome smell sometimes very weird.Thanks Li.
