Bulbophyllum dentiferum - root care? Male
Default

I wouldn't repot. Bulbos have very shallow roots, and they want to stay constantly wet. They don't penetrate far into the medium. Mounting seldom works unless people have a wet, humid outdoors, greenhouse or terrarium.

Set the whole pot as it is into your shallow basket, and fill around it with long-fiber sphagnum moss to the level of what is in the pot. The bulbo will grow out of the pot across the basket. If it's happy the rhizome will branch. They need to be repotted about every 2 years, when the moss breaks down from being constantly wet, and the plant is walking out of the basket.
