To Water or Not to Water That's The Question?
:scratchhead: I've just recently purchased a Bulb. Sulawesii at a local orchid show. It seems to be a healthy plant with four good growths. Yesterday I noticed that the two bottom leaves are starting to turn yellow. I'm not sure what the growing requirements are when it comes to watering this plant. :hmm

It doen't want to be wet all of the time
but it does like water. If you Google it or Blackle it, there is a website called Asiatic Green. They were saying to water 2 x daily, but I am not real sure what kind of media they are using.

I grow mine in slat baskets in Spag. Depends on what you have them in as to how often . They like to be moist , I water mine as soon as it is (almost) dry . Gin

Keep them moist but never soggy wet I think, they don't mind a very short dry spell, those pseudobulbs are not there for nothing!
|
I bought the plant growing in a fine bark mix. Seems to dry out fairly quickly. Will watch it closely, and hope it adjusts soon. Thanks to everyone for your help!!

There is a grower I know who filled plastic containers with water (1/3 full) and sets her bulbophyllums in it. They seem to grow like weeds in this near hydroponic growth set-up, but it does take up a lot of space.

Grow the same as most Bulbos. I used to have this plant on mount. It was impressive! I watered everday during warmer months. I lost it to rot. Most likely watered too much during the cooler months.
