- These can be slow growing and some are reluctant to produce new roots. It's worth doing a bit of research to find out it's growing environment before making the selection for the type of media.
As always, thanks for watching.

I appreciate how you explain the how's and why's as you repot.
Thanks.
She looks happier already!!
Many roots lost but hopefully not too late. The large number of new growths should replace the lost roots soon.
with Paph insigne, the information is correct even though it sounds contradictory. It grows on hillsides where the limestone is exposed, grasses and such grow up in cracks in the limestone, insigne is found growing among them. The roots are on the limestone, so epiphyte (technically lithophyte) but surrounded by humus from the decaying matter from the grasses. If you Google "Paphiopedilum insigne in situ", you will see photos of it in the wild and it will make more sense.
Thanks - often hybridisers are thinking of the resulting bloom and often forget conflicts of the environments.
Totally wonderful as I have four paphs that I will need to repot very soon y now I will know what to look for y do. Thank you, Roger.😎💜💚💖
Thanks - and you're welcome.
Thanks Roger. Well said.
You're welcome.
Thanks Roger!
You're welcome.
Thanks for the re pot i have one to ree pot myself my black Jack i found this very helpful for my ree pot thanks so much Roger.
You're welcome.
Interesting potting video.
Thanks.
Lots of useful information 👍. Thank you for sharing 🌷😊.
Thanks - and you're welcome.
Great repotting video, Roger! It’s harder to find paphiopedilum repots than other orchids on TH-cam. I haven’t had success using sphagnum moss in any of my paphs. I’m not sure if it is because it tends to be more acidic or if it just stays wet too long, but I suspect it is because of the latter. I tend to water too frequently even though I am trying not to.
Like you said, repotting more frequently is also important. I repot mine every year. It seems like it would set them back but they always do better after a repot.
Just to keep everyone happy, I'll be doing a Phalaenopsis next.
Thank you!
You're welcome.
Nice lot of info here, reminded me to re-check what I have as still no sign of a spike.
Thanks.
Thanks for the video, that’s so annoying to find out the orchid is near rootless. With your care ime sure it will thrive.
You're welcome.
Good Paph demo. Let us know how it is liking it's new media. Trying to decide if I should use the same for mine.
Choice of media should also reflect your environment.
That sort of orchid plant a job to grow indoors in my windowsill of my living room
Great video. I've been trying a few of my Paphs potted up with inorganic media. Rocks and lava. So far tried it on 2 of them. We'll see.
Since the leeanum comes from high elevations, does it need pure water?
I use larger perlite to avoid the dust and I place a thin layer of moss for the new roots and small lava rock at the top to keep pests out.
The larger perlite isn't available in the UK. All orchid prefer clean/pure water.
@@GrowingOrchidswithRoger Sorry, what I meant by pure water was water that is lower in ppm from fertilizer.
