Care tips for Bulbophyllum barbigerum
Hi everyone, is there anyone with experience growing Bulbophyllum barbigerum willing to share some tips, please? I bought one a month ago from an orchid show. I gather they are relatively rare because I can barely find any information about them on the internet. I want it to do well so would appreciate all tips.
When I got it, it was wood mounted with a bit of sphagnum moss and some other kind of moss grown on the wood (which is now dead). Now it seems kinda shrivelled and droopy though it has put out a couple of new roots. I thought it was dehydrated so I put it inside a small clear pot (still attached to the wood) and piled more sphagnum moss around it and overtop to keep it more hydrated. It's also sitting overtop a humidity tray right by a south facing window. I am in Canada so the climate's not the most similar to its native Africa. Trying to do what I can for it. I only wish one day it might be healthy enough to bloom. Here is a pic of it. Thanks.
