Bulbophyllums are typically rambling type plants where each pseudobulb arranges itself along long rhizomes.
Occasionally, there are Bulbophyllums that have pseudobulbs that arrange themselves along very short rhizomes, and thus makes them look like they clump.
Each pseudobulb typically produces fairly few roots.
Since the inflorescence on a Bulb. can emerge from either along the rhizome or from the bottom of each pseudobulb, depending on what you've got, I will speak specifically in terms of your Bulbo.
Bulb. Frank Smith has pseudobulbs that arrange themselves along short to medium long rhizomes. The inflorescence should emerge from the bottom of the pseudobulb.
