Hi everyone I am new to this forum and glad I found it. I bought my frist paph in December and just love it. It keeps blooming for me. Is anyone growing or know of someone growing phrag's in Florida. I just love the flowers they produce and would love to able to grow them. And if so what types are you growing?
Thanks
Dave

:welcome:
I'm originally from Miami, FL and I now live in the Northeast and have grown a few Paphs and Phrags in South Florida with no problems. What kind of Phrags do you have or planning to get?

You should have no problem growing them in Florida. I used to grow them outdoors and they were as happy as clams! Post pics of your plants if you can.

Thanks Pete for fast the reply
The plants are small the hanne popow is growing new growth and the other is growing a new leaf. I don't know how old they are to know when they might flower.They are in 2.5" pots. I would like to repot them into Semi-Hydroponics but I have been waiting to see new root growth I can post a picture if you would like tomorrow.

Dave, unlike most Paphs, most Phrags are fast growers, especially longifoliums, schlimii and bessies. Good luck with your Phrags!
