What is the best temperature and humidity for growing Paphs?
We find most Paphs will grow just fine at temperatures and humidity levels with which we ourselves are comfortable. Ideally, Paphs probably would like maximum temperatures not above the 85F range, but can tolerate much higher temperatures with minimal stress especially with additionally misting and/or humidity. Paphs can also go down into the higher 50’s F if necessary without suffering leaf or flower damage, if one is careful about watering times, so that no water is allowed to remain in the leaf axils as the temperatures go down at night. The Paphs listed as beginner plants (see Guide to Buying and Growing Your First Paph.) would prefer to stay mostly in the 60-80F range, preferably with a day night differential of 8-10F, but again for this particular group this is an ideal, and also reasonably easy to approximate with minimum effort on the part of the grower. The day/night differential is fairly easy to attain, either when growing under fluorescent lights when the lights go off, or
