Thanks for the video Matthew. I’d never heard of these orchids until this video so learning from your videos as per usual 👍👍

I love that you say where you are based. I feel whether a plant is high or low light (or what you consider as such) depends a lot on where you are in the world. I bought one of these beauties last week, wish me luck❤

[@helloplantlovers]

Good luck! Give them more light than you'd imagine and you should be fine!

Hi there and thanks for sharing your experience here !
I am a bit of an orchids fanatic and got 5 Paphiopedilums indoors, they are doing fine but because they are so slow growers I always had the doubt if they would do better outdoors... Now Ive seem your sister plants and am happy with keepping mine indoors ! Cheers and keep up sharing your successes ! Kind regards from Säo Paulo- Brasil.

Thanks for watching! Säo Paulo might have a slighter better climate in winter than mine!

I have a path that is quite old. It's bloomed many times but I fear it is now dieing. It has a produced a baby which is thriving. Wondering if my parent plant(s) are reaching the end of a natural life cycle. Or I may also have over watered.

[@helloplantlovers]

Well....they do produce new fans, often annually, and eventually the oldest ones will die off, so if you have a healthy new plant forming I wouldn't worry!

[@annebeginn2034]

I’ve had my path for probably 2 years now, has two fans with a new one growing but not flowered yet on older fans ? Not sure what is wrong 🤔. Thank you for sharing I’m gonna re think

[@helloplantlovers]

Hmmmm....light is often the issue....mine gets good morning light in an east facing window. Good luck!

Why are these NOT in grocery stores or home improvement places.. Just the regular phals?

[@helloplantlovers]

I know! We should start a petition....!

[@selinawang6532]

I am in Melb too. Where did you buy yours?

[@helloplantlovers]

I bought this at the www.gardenloversfair.com.au/ in Mt Macedon. Hopefully the fair will be on again in 2022.
