What an inspiration!
Now I think I will just keep putting mine in a bigger pot instead of dividing it.
How old is this plant? any idea?

It was deflasked in July '91, and is currently in a 15 cm (6 in) plastic pot and hung in a 20 cm basket. I must repot it but I am too afraid of damaging it.

It obviously is in no stress.....if it ain't broke, don't fix it......my motto....I have learned that if plants are not happy, they sure do tell you fast enough....See this one smiling? hehehe....

I can't believe that is in a 6 inch pot! My goodness. Guess mine can go a while longer...I got it in 1999 and it is already in a 5 inch pot. Hope you can repot it without lots of damage. The paphs seem to be pretty forgiving.

Very impressive Gideon! Any other photos you can share? Also, how much sun is directed in your green house?
