Bulb. polliculosum (mount)

Bulbophyllum polliculosum is a SUPER mini orchid from Burma and the neighboring regions. It produces dual-lobed green blooms with red veining. When not in bloom it has flattened scaly pseudobulbs that do best growing on a mount. High humidity plant that prefers not to dry out completely or stay dry for long.

Medium light cool-intermediate orchid that's compact and would be an excellent terrarium plant. Can also be grown potted. Leaf shed is common and they will often bloom from the leafless bulbs. Tolerant of extremes in temperature but likes cooler - would suit the lower half of a terrarium well. 

This is a mature, blooming size plant mounted on plastic placard. Unless otherwise stated, it will not arrive in bloom or spike. 

BULBOPHYLLUM CARE INFO:

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

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: Cool-warm (40F 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.
