bulbophyllums
 

I have a bulbophyllum that has never flowered in the last 7 years that I have had it. it is clinging to a tree and all my orchid growing friends says it looks healthy and happy. Then what do I need to do?

Does it get enough light?

It might be helpful to post a picture of the orchid. It can tell a lot about root health, leaf color (indicative of light levels), etc. Are you fertilizing regularly? Also from what I understand bulbos are slow to absorb water and like to have a wetter environment for longer than many other orchids.

1. What kind of Bulbophyllum is it?

2. What are your growing conditions?

3. Yes, can you post photos please?

Provide the information, and you will be given a better thought out set of information to work with.

thank you! I uploaded a photo in the gallery but I cant see it. Please explain how I can upload a photo here.
