I'm getting back into orchids and have fallen for Bulbophyllums. I recently ordered two new ones; they came today.
One is Bulbophyllum masdevalliaceum. I have been unable to find much about care for this one, other than it prefers mostly shade, warm to hot temps, and (like every other Bulbophyllum I've seen, lots of moisture.
Does anyone have any tips or other care info to share regarding this particular Bulbophyllum?
Welcome back!
First, when you look this one up, it goes under several names, and they're all the same species: Bulb. masdevalliaceum = Bulb. maxillare = Bulb. blumei . Care is pretty much the same as for all the warmer-growing Bulbos. It's a rambler. I grow it in a plastic basket, very little medium, in a rather humid greenhouse where it gets daily watering. (It's more out of than in the basket) If growing it in the house, you'll need to get some sphagnum around those fine roots to keep it wet enough. A super-vigorous species that can bloom several times a year.
