Super mini orchid from (almost exclusively) Camaroon that likes wet, warm conditions. Grows in tropical montane forests. Pretty rare. Produces tri-lobed flowers that range from deep red to light pink-yellow. Bright indirect-medium light. Can be grown potted or mounted. Tolerant of extremes in temperature but likes warmer - would suit the lower half of a terrarium well. 

Unless otherwise stated, it will not arrive in bloom or spike. Flower pictured is not of the plant you will receive. Expect some differences in shape and color. 

 

BULBOPHYLLUM CARE INFO:

Potting mix: Mounted with moss. Potted in fine bark or moss. 

Light: Shaded medium-bright indirect. Must be given ample water and humidity for brighter locations. 

Water: Water frequently in hot months as the media reaches dry. These prefer moist conditions, do not allow them to fully dry out or stay dry for long. Enjoys a mild rest period of decreased watering and fertilizing in winter.

Temp: Intermediate-warm (55F min, 95F max). 

Humidity: 60-80%, prefers medium-high humidity. Ensure good air circulation for terrarium or greenhouse growing.

Fertilizing: 1/4-1/2 strength urea-free fertilizer, every month as new roots and leaves emerge. Run clean tap water through the growing media once monthly to prevent salt buildup. Light feeders - less is more.
