Default Which Bulbo is a good one to start with?

I'm going to mount some of my dwarf phals shortly but I would also like to try a Bublo or two that is nice and compact and would work in an apartment with less than optimal humidity at 40-60% throughout the year. Any recommendations are appreciated. I've found lasiochilum and Dinema polybulbon so far that I like.

Hi Richard!
bumping your thread lol - seems it got lost
I am no expert for sure - especially regarding bulbos
I did get a lasiochilum division in November and mounted it on some grapewood. So far so good - I just noticed some new growth on it a couple of days ago I live in a pretty dry climate, tho this time of year it is a bit more humid. (tho probably still not more than 40 - 60% daytimes, tho nights are damp). Guess I will have to wait and see how it does with our very dry summer.

Default Bubba

I added a few myself: lobbii, frostii, vitiense, and burfordiense. What I have learned is the need a daily mist from the sprayer. Before I did that, they pretty much just sat there. They weren't dying, but they certainly weren't prospering. I had to move a few to either increase or decrease light as well, but the added h2o has made the difference and now, they're sending out new growth and roots.
