Bulbophyllum with no leaves: keep or throw?? Male
Default Bulbophyllum with no leaves: keep or throw??

I got this bulbophyllum about two months ago. As time goes on the only bulb with leaf rotted so I just cut it away. Now the only thing this plant has is two bulbs with no leaf and some roots.
Keep or throw?
(bulbophyllum blumei)

It's definitely viable. Keep it very wet. Make sure to completely soak the sphagnum moss at least once every day. Bulbophyllums don't bare-root well, if you got it that way. They don't tolerate dessication well at all.

The bulbs are food for a growing new leaf/pseudobulb. If you put it in the correct light, and keep it moist, it will start growing.
