Paph. urbanianum

One of the plants saved from near-death due to deficiencies. It's recovered nicely. Decent flower IMO.

Nice. What media are you using?

Great save!

Is that another Norito Hasegawa in bud in the back?

 

[emydura]

That is real nice. I just bought one myself. I hope it turns out as well as yours.

Bleaching of leaves. Some parts even turned white. Growth stopped. I was using RO water, k-lite and oyster shells. Didn't work for me. I am now using tap water and urea based fertilizers. Things are better than ever.

It's in orchiata and perlite. It's in dire need of repotting, like most of my plants.

Thanks for the nice comments guys. It's better than I expected!
Can't wait to get more Barbata species.

Interesting. A few of my barbata species have this symptom recently and I cannot figure out why. Time to pump up the pee :evil:

I love this, both the flowers and the leaves. I bought one of these recently, hopefully it will bloom as nicely as this one one day.

They like to be kept wetter than most. Very shady too.
