...is it ok to stake bulbophyllum vertically instead of lay it down horizontally? since I'm growing this one in the tent, I'm trying to save some ground space for other orchids.
I'm not clear what you mean. Do you mean mounted on a piece of wood? They can grow that way but it is harder to give them enough water. They are wet growing orchids that prefer never to dry out.
