How to fertilize Paphiopedilum 'Maudiae Femma'
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Paphiopedilum 'Maudiae Femma' after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Help to make her happy After noticing that the flower is drooping, even with watering, I decided to “dissect” the pot to remove the fake moss the store put on, and put her in a bulb vase to get a real deep drink. She’s happy for now, and looks beautiful in there, but it’s too small so I redid her soil and will put her back shortly. Question is, where do I cut back once the flower is spent? It’s obvious on my Phalaenopsis, but I’m scared with her

Help with slipper orchid Anyone know what could be wrong with my slipper orchid? She was doing fine but now has these small brown spots on some leaves. And one leaf is yellowing. She’s not in direct sunlight. I don’t know if it could be over or under watering. Any ideas? 🤔

Hey #OrchidLovers, how often do you water your slipper orchids #Paphiopedilum)? 🌸 My #PaphiopedilumOrchid has been looking a bit worse for the wear recently. I noticed that one of her leaves has a split in it, and other have yellowed. I’m suspecting a watering issue. Has anyone else ever had symptoms like this with their slipper orchids?

GUYS 😭 I was walking around my room doing a growth check (yes, with my turbie twist on 🧖♀️ lol), and went over to the lil orchid babies and saw a new leaf on one! So of course I excitedly ran my finger over it and (embarrassingly) started congratulating Leilani and telling her I was proud of her, and that’s when I suddenly realized… IT’S NOT A LEAF, IT’S THE START OF A SPIKE (!!!) and I suddenly lost all brain functioning for about 2 minutes while chaotically repeating “oh my god, oh my god” and attempted to record a video explaining why this was such a huge deal for me. (P.S. — Let’s be thankful that we can’t upload videos to Greg for now, because some things are better left unseen lmao.) This freaking orchid… I’ve put her through hell. I accidentally overfertilized and burned her less than 2 weeks after getting her in March of this year. After nursing her back to health, I then stressed her out again when I moved in May. I got her as a younger orchid, so I’ve never seen her bloom irl (although I’ve seen pictures 🥵). In fact, none of my orchids have bloomed yet, I’m definitely a #NewPlantParent when it comes to orchids. Even though #Paphiopedilum orchids are terrestrial and moisture-loving, I’ve been doing a shitty job maintaining her watering schedule. TL;DR — She’s not only survived in spite of me, but my “problem” orchid just happens to be the first that will (hopefully) bloom! What are the chances?! 🥳 In case you can’t tell, I’m really f*cking excited. Brain still not fully recovered from the surge of glee. Geez, nature is pretty cool dude! 🌸 #OrchidLovers #OrchidOrg #RareOrchid #ResilientPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy #PlantShelfie

#OrchidLovers!! Look at this sneaky new bud! May 2nd to today. I’ve found paphs to be challenging in the past, but I think I’m finally getting the hang of them. 🌱 #OrchidOrg #Paphiopedilum #FreshLeafFriday #HappyPlants #NewGrowth

Anyone have any experience with brown tips on a #Paphiopedilum #Orchid that’s potted in a well-draining orchid growing medium in an orchid pot with lots of air flow/holes?
-
As requested, here’s the vinicolor paph, fully opened. 🌹Wish me luck. I’ve had no success with paphs in the past, really hoping I can figure them out this time. They are notorious slow growers. This hybrid is paph Superbly Wood. Love the macabre look. #Paphiopedilum #OrchidLovers #OrchidOrg #GregGang #NewPlant #FreshBloom
