EMERGENCY with my NOID bulb
So I received a NOID bulb as a gift a little while ago. My mother was at a grower bragging about my green thumb and the grower picked up a bulbophyllum scrap off the ground of the greenhouse and said "here, see if she can do something with this". I'm used to dens, phals, cyms, oncid and vandas. Had them all for years but I know nothing about this massive genera other than its one of the largest genera and they range from lithophytes to epiphytes. I'm hoping that someone with more experience can direct me on some vague requirements. She has very fine roots, aprox 1mm in diameter. All the roots were dead so I'm counting on back bulbs to provide enough for a new growth. The pseudobulbs are cylindrical and slender not fat and flattened like an oncid pseudobulb, the leaves are also slender but not spiky. Her largest pseudobulb is about 2" long and each bulb is spaced about 1 1/2 inches apart. The longest leaf is almost 6 inches off the pseudobulb and she is a medium green. Based on this information I'm guessing she is an epiphyte cause the bulbs are far apart and she likes sun cause her leaves are no wide. Any basic care info you can give would be much appreciated. I have setups for high humidity and light ranging from shade to full sun, I have shallow and deep pots, varying sizes of bark mixture, moss, mounts and terrarium availability. I just need to know what she needs
