Bulbophyllum Echinolabium

[HighSeas]

Three spikes and a new bulb! I'm so excited but I hear it takes forever to get to flowers. Any comments on that?

Congrats, just be patience, looking forward to see pics of the blooms.

Hi Tommy...Thanks! I'll be sure to post those pics! I'm not sure I have the patience for this!

Congratulations! I just received one today. I would be happy to learn any culture tips you may have to share!

Thank you Cambria! Your new Bulbi is so, so nice!

Mine likes a lot of water! I use MSU weakly to keep it that way and once a week let him sit in a tray of water for a few days. He seems to really like that.

The spikes arrived right after I increased the light to Catt levels. (apparently he liked that too!)

Once or twice a month I give it Kelp....and I also squeeze in some Magnesium here and there, with plain water.

I think increasing the light levels initiated the spikes.

Good luck with yours! It's beautiful. I just love this bulbophyllum!

I noticed you had it next to those Catts. Apparently light is the key!

Thanks for your fertilizer and watering advice. I love this plant too, can't wait to see your flowers...and maybe one day, my own!
