Paphiopedilum Repot (Slipper Orchid) : 5 plants, 5 different scenarios 

Why do I find this so mesmerizing? 🥰

I think the best advise I ever got on paphs was from a grower here in Australia that has a huge nursery with hundreds of paphs ,is to put them in the smallest pot possible that holds their roots, pot for root size not the size of their leaves. Since I did this my collection has done so well.

I live in the desert, normally 0 humidity, and winter is more like spring in greener places, summer we get the most humidity so I grow my paph in moss and she loves it. I love how the bark looks so I put some on top of the pot lol. Nice to see orchid growing channels! Good video.

Hi Rachel, your paphs look great. Lots of healthy leaves and roots! There is more than one way to pot a plant for sure. Have a great weekend!

This video comes in very handy to me Rachel since I have to repot soon one of my paphs, thank you for sharing!

Well done Rachel that was a interesting watch. All looking happy now.

Very good vídeo with 5 different situations. No matter how many repotting videos we watch there always something different and that is very interesting. Thank you Rachel.

Thank you,Rachel for this video.(I'm irenalittleprince on fb).I love your repotting videos!I have two,so called American hybrids and one Femma Maudiae...btw.the American hybrids are grown for Josh,which I didn't want to mention in case I upset you but..I've just seen your clay pot,shed a tear and smiled...stopped your video to write this comment..now I'll see the others.and btw. I live in Gdańsk,Poland...Thank you❤

Well done. Your paphs all look very healthy and happy. I wish mine had so many roots. I have struggled with mine and may give up on them. Thank you for sharing.

Very nice video, thanks for some insite to your methods. I've been growing orchids since the 80's and have gotten into Paphs recently. I showed a older webinar from AOS about Paphs by Paph Paradise here in the States, to our society. I repotted my 4 older Paphs last month and saw a lot of what you have shown. After repotting my little Paph bellatulum album #2 x denienati var. album #2 with 4 growths it has already started 2 new spikes! I believe Paphs will do better in smaller pots and repotting more often. Live & learn. :-)

I learned a lot thank you. I’m getting my first aphasia. This week and I’m learning.

Rachel Great video I as a avid Orchid grower forgot to add oyster shells to my medium , although I use a balanced fertilizer soo I will add it as a top dressing in the near future. I hope all is going as we well as one can be !!! Be well my friend

Great video. Now I know how to repot. Thank you. I have two paphs but they have not yet bloom. This spring will time to repot them and hopefully they will do well.

Thank you for the video!

nice job. It is interesting how we all have a different method. I use a somewhat larger bark, larger perlite and no moss, more akin to how Ed grows his. I also repot so the media comes up to middle of the lowest two leaves on the newest fan (with the exception of one seedling that started its adult roots between leaves three and four, so it is potted rather deep but seems no worse for wear).

멋진 난영상 너무 잘보고 갑니다 😀😀👍👍

I just reported all my paphs too, and to my horror most of the roots were terrible after 3 years without a repot. I will definitely repot every spring now. I also topdress with sphagnum Moss. :)

Wow really good repot I loved how the roots looked so healthy on the paphs I hope they give you lots of blooms which I know they will. P.s May you make a video on the arum Lilly I got one and I ant to know more about so I can see those spectacular blooms good vid👍😁

Very nice and helpful. Now for my phaps i actually add some soil in the mix i was told that they are semi terrestrial, and they seem to be doing good so far, well better then when i had them in leca i was going them semi hydro. now in bark along with the soil. what do you suggest should i repot them? Thanks

It's amazing how long you've had some of them and more so, how long you said they've gone without reporting. Everyone says how temperamental they are and require yearly repots.

Hi Rachel, I'm a new subscriber from Cork. I found out about you from the channel " Roger's Orchids " and was delighted to find an Orchid grower in Ireland. I fell in love with orchids when I got a present of a phalanopsis at Christmas. At the moment it has one leaf but is still alive! ( I think!!) I would love to find the scented orchid " Sharry Baby" and was wondering if you had any ideas on where I might find one here in Ireland. Love your channel 🥰 Maureen.

Rachel where can I get your orchid bark in Ireland? I have only seen the premixed branded varieties.
