Does anyone have experience with paph moustache flasks, are there any weaknesses, how fast do they grow and how long do they take to mature?

I am thinking of getting 5 flasks tomorrow, but the are expensive, and I don't want to waste too much money.

Paph moustache will probably take about 5 years to grow up to blooming size, assuming you have optimum conditions. Treat it like any other flask, use clean water on it, banrot if you have any, and always keep the humidity very high initially and with lots and lots of airflow so that the leaves are moving.

How much are you paying for the flasks?

Speaking of flasks, I just motherflasked up today:

Thanks, I will be paying about $55 per flask...that is consideribly more than our local flaskers charge. We normally pay around $10 to $25 depending on the species. with about 30 -35 plants (I deflasked some Mysticidiun Capense and there were about 60 plants per flask). I bought P. Concolor flasks last week for about $15

We simply just don't get nice multifloral flasks here.
