Yes, I have started acquiring bulbos in the last few years (I have about 12 or so) and will likely add a few more given the opportunity. Such different flowers.

Cool, you can put pictures of the whole plant please?

I have one here, but it is not going well ...

Actually, it's not bad, but it is not growing well.

Here is full plant. Not a big plant, but blooming size. I had a few bulbos 4 or 5 years ago that were doing nothing and I think I was slowly killing them, I ended up giving to a friend. I think they were seedlings or a much smaller plant, I also don't think I was giving them enough light.

I have had much better luck with them since I've started buying bigger plants and grow them under t5 bulbs.
Good luck.

Thank you Brenda! It is very cute!
Mine is still very small, has more bulbs, but is smaller than yours!

I think I'll put it in more light to see if it improves. T5 here would be tricky!

Thanks again

I put some of mine outside during our summers (May - sept/0ctober)...they love the humidity. You could likely grow all year outside? No?

[Gabriel Tiol]

Yes, all the year outside, but here in my city in Brazil, the climate is good for orchids all year ..
