Is my bulbo Macranthum okay?

I have mounted this guy about 2 weeks ago, he gets full sun every day but still gets some partial shade started noticing that when the light passes through the bottom leaves a spotting color it is dry now I usually water everyday at 4:00 and mist every morning before I go to school. I am still new to bulbos and this one is so pretty when it blooms I really want to be able to see it come to that especially after spending 50 dollars for it....

fertilize weakly weekly, seaweed extract/MagiCal 2x a month, never allowed to dry out.

Think it may be getting a bit too much sun.

Thought so as well. Moved it back some.

I recently had to move a few of my bulbos too because of the change in how the sunlight is hitting my solarium. I didn't realize the change until one of them had a few burns.

Yeah I have just noticed that myself

Looks pretty dehydrated too.

Gets watered every day soaked every other. I spray for a good 4-5 min w a water hose every day that not getting soaked for 15-30 min. Just had to move it in. Night temps have significantly dropped with fall cold spell.

I wouldn't grow a moisture loving species like that outside on a mount in central Texas. Maybe out east where humidity is always high. They just aren't adapted for the dryness that happens during the middle of the day.

Yep I figured this out he may be de mounted...
