It appeared a long time ago on some of my Bulbophyllums and has migrated onto almost all of them. Bulbs like a moist environment and so does moss. I have taken to transplanting a small bit of it to a newly potted plant and it does the rest from there !

Very nice, how do you keep the environment moist?

I use shallow containers like ZipLock and put holes in them. I put about 1" of leca in the bottom and the rest is New Zealand sphagnum. I have each one sitting in a saucer so that when I water or fertilize I leave about 1/2" in the saucer. They are under T8 fixtures (4 foot with 6 bulbs) for 12 hours/day and 15/day during DST. I use 20-10-20 urea free GrowMore about every other week at 1/2 tsp/gal. I have a ceiling fan and a humidifier on 24/7.

That is awesome, Chryss...tiny beautiful flower...

@Tindo...I get some moss from the sidewalk in spring(sometimes scraped from old big trees on the street)...and transfer it to the media of the pot I want to have it grow in...in a couple of months it spreads all over(you need constant humidity and shaded sun) and the sun in New York is bright and stronger thru the window glass
