	Phil's Orchid World Paphiopedilum Seasonal Culture
		Paphiopedilums include amongst their numbers those which are strong robust plants capable of surviving quite difficult conditions, although, of course, their growth and flowering will be much better and more assured when their relatively simple basic requirements are provided.
		Paphiopedilums will be grown in all parts of the country although in the colder environments, additional warmth and protection will be required, especially for the warmer growing varieties.
		It is desirable to mist the foliage regularly as paphiopedilums lack the usual orchid water storage organs, the pseudobulbs.
