Paph connundrum

19 years ago

I have two mottled leaf paphs. Paph Masupi, indoors under two 40 watt cfl's for about 1750 fc for 16 hours per day. Paph Callosum x sib is outside with direct sun until about noon, then dappled shade until about 4, and then shady dapple until sundown.

My problem is that paph Masupi's leaves are yellow. Not lime green I'm at my upper light limit, but yellow. Callosum, while not dark green, is certainly not yellow.

Furthermore, On the side of the newest fan, on the newest leaf emerging, there are brown scars. There is no corresponding scar on the top of the leaf. I would blame the lights being too hot, but the parts of the leaves closest to the lights aren't exibiting this.

They are more likely under watered/fertilized than over. Should I move Masupi outdoors with Callosum, or is this normal?

Thanks, Bob
