I bought my first Paph, a (Satchel Paige x Voodoo Magic) about 5 weeks ago and the two flowers just fell off.
Can anyone tell me how long before it might rebloom again?
Thanks,

Could take a couple years. Maybe never if you kill it.

Hi, Marcus! :welcome: to the forum!
It will probably bloom whenever the next growth matures which may take a year or two depending on the plant and your conditions. Hope this helps!

Welcome Marcus, what are your conditions? That would help us be able to help you better. As Peter said, usually Paphs bloom when the growths are mature but you need to be sure you have them in the condtions they like. I'd say the most evil myth out there is that they like "lower" light. Many of them can take a lot more than you'd think, so, please let us know how you are growing your Paph. :)

First of all, thanks in advance for the advice.
Steve, I only try to kill people, not plants. :twisted:
Seriously though, I have it growing with my phals. Indoors, by a northwest window in Miami. Warm and humid.
I just unpotted it to check the roots and I can't tell which way the plant is growing. There were 2 growths which bloomed and a third smaller one which did not bloom. I am guessing the third one is the new growth. It did not have any roots growing under it. Most of the roots seemed be under the growth farthest away from it. Does that sound right?
I am asking so I know which way to position it when I repot.
It also looks like I have rust on one of the leaves. I am treating it with Phyton 27. Any other advice?
Thanks,

Marcus,
New immature Paph growths have very little to no roots and it takes them time for them to produce roots before they are fullly matured. Hope this helps!
