Hey guys! So I have decided to take the plunge and I bought myself my very first Bulbos! I got them in maybe a month ago and I've been trying to get a feel for growing them and I'm finding them a bit frustrating so far - most seem to not be not doing much of anything and I'm wondering if I need to pot them into something else..
Here's what I have purchased, just for reference:
Cirr. Elizabeth Ann 'Buckleberry'
Bulb. longiflorum (bought as Cirr. umbellatum)
Cirr. Thai Spider (I want this one to do well sooo bad!)
Cirr. Lovely Elizabeth
Bulb. Lepidum
Bulb. corolliferum

Most came potted in those little plastic vanda baskets planted in sphagnum with a wire mesh screen or maybe a bit of osmunda fiber at the bottom. On most of them the pseudobulbs are a bit shriveled and some have growths that are either not at all in the medium or are over the edge and growing into thin air. The exception here is the Lovely Elizabeth, which came potted in a 4" plastic pot planted all the way down with sphagnum - this plant is doing really well at the moment and is busy putting out new growths out the wazoo and I'm wanting to pot it up into something bigger.

I was trying to grow them a bit more like what I'm used to, cttleyas, but I think that may be a bit too dry for these guys. So I've taken to saturating them for a few days at a time and then giving the plants a chance to dry out some before I water again.

Anyway, I'd like to hear how everyone else if growing theirs, I'm really wanting my little bitty bulbo collection to live!
