Local nursery had paphs, so suffice to say, I came home with 2. 😅 Can’t wait to see the vinicolor open up! #OrchidLovers #NewPlant #OrchidOrg #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #Paphiopedilum #GregGang

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?

Hey #OrchidLovers, how often do you water your slipper orchids #Paphiopedilum)? 🌸

I wanted to share a drawing I did of my #VenusSlipper hope you all enjoy! #OrchidLovers

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

Any other Paphiopedilum people out there? #VenusSlipper #Paphiopedilum

Woot woot!! My all black everything paphiopedilum wardii is in bloom! I’ve been patiently waiting for this one to bloom and well here she is ✨💅 #OrchidLovers #PaphiopedilumOrchid #VenusSlipper #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy
