Your flowers are beautiful. Are these plants very large?

No, the bulbs are about 1/2" x 2" but this Bulbophyllum is a creeper so its rhizomes spread out rather growing in a clump. It therefor takes up some room. |

Thanks, Howard. I grow indoor on shelves with lights. I don't have any bulbophyllums and I would like to try one. I wondered if this would be a good one for indoor growing.

Bulbophyllum are reasonably easy to grow. Most, not all, like warm temps, humidity, moist media but not soaking all the time, good light and good air circulation. They will not tolerate water on the young new pseudo bulb growth and will rot overnight! As I said some grow in clumps and do well mounted while others wander all over the place. Here are a few different Bulbos to demonstrate their growing habits and the size variation. The mounted plants, IMHO, are harder to care for because they dry out faster in my greenhouse because I have a problem maintaining 70% humidity. |
