Patty, I think you really need a temp and humidity controlled greenhouse to grow Paphs here in Florida, sadly. They grow them at Selby, and I've seen them at Krull-Smith and Chapman's Orchids in Apopka too.

I know both Jim and I have tried and failed - Jim warned me, but I got two as gifts, what can you do? They are sadly sliding down the slippery slope outside my patio door right now. If the weather would stay like this for a few more months . . they might have a chance but this is Florida and I refuse to try to grow them indoors in the summer. I have a big garden, no need for plants in the house. (unless absolutely necessary, like for cold nights Green Grin! )
