It is essential to water the orchid thoroughly, allowing the water to drain completely before watering again. Overwatering can lead to root rot and other issues, so it is crucial to ensure proper drainage. In terms of lighting, the Paph magi cherry prefers bright, indirect light. Placing it near a window with filtered sunlight is best. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves and hinder the growth of the orchid. Fertilizing the Paph magi cherry is also vital to ensure its well-being. It is recommended to use a balanced orchid fertilizer with a ratio of 20-20-20. This should be applied every two weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) and reduced to once a month during the dormant season (fall and winter). Propagation of the Paph magi cherry can be done through division. This involves carefully separating the new growth shoots from the mother plant, ensuring each division has its own set of roots. It is essential to use sterilized tools to prevent the spread of diseases. Overall, the Paph magi cherry is a stunning orchid variety that requires specific care to thrive. With the right temperature, humidity, light, and fertilization, this orchid can brighten up any space with its vibrant cherry red color..

1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Paph magi cherry. The flowers were not as vibrant as they appeared in the pictures, and they wilted very quickly. The plant did not seem to be in good health and looked a bit sickly. I followed all the care instructions provided, but it just didn't thrive like I expected. Overall, it was a disappointing purchase.
2. John - 1 star - I have to say, I was not impressed with the Paph magi cherry. The plant arrived with very few flowers, and they were already starting to wither. The leaves looked dull and lackluster, which was a clear sign that it was not in great condition. I reached out to the seller to express my disappointment, but their response was not helpful at all. I would not recommend this plant to anyone.
3. Emily - 2 stars - The Paph magi cherry that I received was not up to my expectations. The plant was quite small and did not have as many flowers as advertised. Despite following the care instructions meticulously, the flowers started drooping and only lasted for a few days. This was a letdown, as I was hoping for a beautiful and long-lasting display. I won't be buying from this seller again.
4. Mike - 2 stars - I have mixed feelings about the Paph magi cherry. On one hand, the colors of the flowers were lovely and vibrant, just like in the pictures. However, the plant itself seemed weak and didn't last very long. Unfortunately, the flowers started wilting within a week of receiving the plant. I expected it to thrive and last longer, but it just didn't meet my expectations. Overall, it was a somewhat disappointing experience.
