Bulbophyllum is the largest genus of orchids, with over 2000 species, all with very unique and beautiful blooms.  Bulbophyllum grow throughout the tropics across the globe and favor warm, humid environments. These epiphytic plants grow pseudobulbs along a creeping rhizome, and each pseudobulb usually grows one leaf (occasionally two leaves, as in Bulb. falcatum). With the right care, these orchids can bloom any time of year. Some species produce a single flower, but often the plants produce a cluster of flowers, and are truly a delight to behold.

PLANT CARE

• Light: Medium to bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can harm the plant.
• Water: This plant should never be allowed to dry out. These plants are grown in sphagnum moss that retains moisture to keep these orchids healthy. Water when top layer of sphagnum feels dry to the touch.
• Considerations: This plant doesn't like to have its roots disturbed. Be careful if you choose to repot. Although naturally an epiphyte, this plant does not grow well mounted in a home environment, as its watering needs would be difficult to maintain. To induce blooms faster, these plants appreciate high humidity, lots of air movement, and regular fertilization at a low concentration.
