Went to an orchid show in Tampa yesterday where one of my favorite nurseries had a gathering of vendors. I told my husband I wouldn't be buying any more until the Orchid House was completed....BUT If I ran upon something I couldn't live without....
I came home with 9 plants.
When does the madness end?
Anyway...getting to the point of this thread, I bought my very first Bulbophyllum! Slowly but surely, THAT obsession (sickness) is overcoming me. I can feel it as it grows....
I bought the Medusa and he came in a wee tiny little pot full of WETNESS (Sphagnum). That makes me nervous to begin with. I had read that they like to be wet. WET? I live in a very humid environment so my first instinct is to yank his toosh out of the moss and go with something a little reasonable with maybe Sphag on the top to hold in the moisture a bit.
Would there be anyone willing to share with me how they are successful with Bulbophyllums? Thank you so much!
