Repotting paphiopedilum maudiae

My paphiopedilum maudiae vinicolor was in need of repotting, so I decided to save it on video to share with you. I repotted it some weeks ago in July.
The last time I repotted, there were few good roots, and I planted it in a mix of pine bark and coconut husk. I was curious to see how well the roots grew in that media.
There were quite a lot more new roots now. I decided this time to use the same kind of media as Brad (from Brad's Greenhouse) uses in this video: • Orchid Care :How to re...

It’s also good to put the date of repotting on it. I had some nursery bought plants with the date of it which was nice to have a reference

[@bobirceaveronica]

John Benedict ORCHIDS Thank you! :)

[@lucythecat529]

I really enjoyed your repotting video. You made it look easy. Great looking plant.

[@orchidsadutchy4940]

Thank you! :) I was inspired by Brad's videos (from Brad's Greenhouse channel) about repotting paphiopedilums. I don't have many paphs, only this one and a paph.primulinum. Actually I sold the one from this video at a meeting from our orchid society, so I only have one now. Happy Holidays! :)

[@orchidsadutchy4940]

+Rachel Alic I'm glad the video was useful to you. :) This kind of media seems to be very good for this kind of orchid.

[@Stokinggreen]

Happy paph! thanks for sharing.

[@orchidsadutchy4940]

+Decojennutz Thank you. :) It's a nice plant, but it grows so slowly. Still waiting for it to rebloom. Have a nice weekend!

Gorgeous paphio...this for the vid...

[@ot7stan207]

I regret not mixing moss into my cattlyea bark mix I used for mine. but I do live in a humid place by the beach so maybe ill be ok

[@marygorchidsmore2058]

Really nice repotting. Thanks for sharing. How is your paph doing? has it got spike yet?

[@orchidsadutchy4940]

Thank you, Mary! No, it hasn't bloomed again yet. It has grown more leaves, but it's such a slow grower. If the leaves weren't so pretty, it would be the most boring of my orchids 😊

[@marygorchidsmore2058]

Orchids & a Dutchy I love the leaves. I am buying one mostly for its leaves.

[@orchidsadutchy4940]

MaryG Orchids I like the leaves a lot. Mine takes so long to bloom, that I try to forget that it can bloom, and try to think of it as just a green houseplant, so I don't feel disappointed. I bought it in 2013 and it was in bloom. After that, it produced 2 new growths, and they have been growing very slowly ever since, and I'm still waiting for them to make flower spikes. Maybe next year. They started to do something this autumn and I thought it would be finally spikes, but no, just leaves again...

[@ditmagiknietvergeten]

Hi im so scared to repot this. I watched this video and a few other from brad thanks so much for sharing. It made me a litte more comfortable to repot. But how do i distinguish tje death.from the live ones? I did not had any green root tips but they lool verry nice and hairy but some looked woody.. are the woods ones the old death ones? Kind regards rose 🌹

[@orchidsadutchy4940]

I'm so sorry it took me so long to reply. I have been away from youtube for some time. The roots of paphiopedilums are often a little woody, and they aren't too flexible, so they can break more easily, Often they don't have green tips. The younger roots are lighter brow, and the older are very dark sometimes. Sometimes I thought a root was dead, and when I cut it off, I saw it was alive inside, so accidents can happen. But usually dead roots are mushy. I like Brad's videos too, and I got inspiration from his videos. :) Happy Holidays!

Bret Furgason Thank you! :)

[@PyyhekumiKola]

Hei! ostin tuollaisen vinicolorin juuri tänään näyttelystä! :D

[@orchidsadutchy4940]

+PyyhekumiKola Hienoa! :) Ostin omani pari vuotta sitten näyttelystä, Currlinilta. :) Mitä mieltä olit näyttelystä? Tykkäsitkö?

[@PyyhekumiKola]

+Orchids & a Dutchy joo tykkäsin. Vahvistui ennestään mun käsitys siitä että suomalaiset näköjään tykkäävät cattleyoista :D Näyttely itsessään oli hieno, mutta itse ostelu meni kyllä muun edelle. twinkleä ja Berry odaa lähdin hakemaan mutta mukaan tulikin jälkimmäisen sijaan tuo vinicolor joka on nupullaan ja siinä on monta uutta viuhkaa tulossa. ensimmäinen neidonkenkä, katsotaan miten pärjään :D
