| Paph lawreanceanum is one of the
parents of the famous Paph Maudiae. Note the attractive mottling
and strong contrast on this healthy
plant. |

LIGHT. Most paphs are low-light
plants, and like a shady spot where they receive bright indirect
light. They will do fine in eastern, or shaded western or southern exposures. As a
rule, do not place mottled-leafed plants in direct
sunlight.
Let the foliage be your guide:
leaves should be medium green in color with darker well-defined patterns in the
mottled leaf types. Many of the larger multifloral paphs, usually with plain green
foliage, need considerably brighter light to bloom, especially during the winter
months.
Brachpetalums, parvisepalums and slipper orchids with
thicker leaves, can generally take a little more light.
