How to grow: Paphiopedilum Maudiae!

[@wandashaw3551]

Matthew I just ordered this one after seeing your video. Mine is named Paph Janet Kunkle album. She's Memoria Allegria Gutierrez x Maudiae 'Nappa Valley'. Im so excited.

there are a few scented Paphs. If you can find it, hangianum is the one to get. easily the most fragrant of all the known species. It grows in deep shade, wants a cold dry winter and a warm to hot wet summer, so provided you can keep it dry in the winter it should be possible for you to grow outdoors.

Good to know! Thanks for watching!

Ooh, the tease with your Duo de Citron🤗😍

[@helloplantlovers]

Lovely video, Matthew! I enjoy your ramblings, even if they are the ramblings of an amateur, as the way you weave in your own story with them and the research you do adds a lot of personality to these videos. I'm very happy that this Paphiopedilum bloomed for you! Perhaps I should get a Maudiae-type for myself sometime, those blooms are spectacular.

Exquisite.... i love paphs with this type of leaf, just got into terrestrial orchid a month ago, bought myself a paphiopedilum and acanthephipium, the acanthe already growing 2 offset, the paphs seem tobe taking its time...😂

[@helloplantlovers]

I've never heard of Acanthophippium! What an interesting flower!

[@markpullen326]

Hi Matthew. I'm told that Paphiopedilum delenatii is fragrant and smells of roses. I've recently added one to my collection but don't expect a bloom until next year. Paphiopedilum concolor is also supposed to have a fragrance; mine is in bud so I'll find out in the next month or so. The hybrid Paphiopedilum Mrs White aka Krulls Glacier does a a fragrance. It's not strong but it is there and it is pleasant. Happy growing. P.S. I'm on the South coast of England.

[@helloplantlovers]

Thank you! Seems there's a few fragrant ones - just finding them here is tricky!

Awesome

Hi Matthew. Loved the video living vicariously through you. I tried a total of 12 Paphs, and sad to say they are no longer in existence. I live in S Florida USA so I am not sure if my climate is good for this orchid. You are hilarious.

[@helloplantlovers]

Thanks for watching! There are many warmer, tropical growing species you could try!

[@sharongeorge4096]

Just beautiful! I sadly killed the only one I’ve ever attempted. I have fantastic luck with phalenopsis so perhaps I’ll try this one again

[@helloplantlovers]

Good luck - it's relatively forgiving for me!

Good one

Are you going to OSCOV melbourne orchid spectacular? if you are would you film it ?

[@helloplantlovers]

I did and I did!

[@AvaWille]

How did the gastrochilus experiment turn out?

[@helloplantlovers]

100% failure!! Too dry in my environment.

[@elpilarorchids]

hahaha, oh man, i always forget to clean my nails before filming!! feel your pain :) great flower, btw!

[@helloplantlovers]

Thanks for watching!

[@tracystrombotne2855]

In what season do you repot your paphs? Or is it growth related?

[@tracystrombotne2855]

Never ind, at the end of the video you said you repot in spring! Thanks!

[@stevebranch9098]

Hi paphiopedilum malipoense has a scent of raspberry, and paphiopedilum delenatii has a scent of roses

[@helloplantlovers]

Interesting! Thanks for watching!
