Couldn't load pickup availability
Bulbophyllym falcatum aureum is the white/alba version of Bulb. falcatum. Very tiny and weird flowers that are small in comparison to the rest of the plant, but the purple spike darkly contrasts the leaves. Bulbophyllum orchids generally prefer high humidity and will thrive in low-bright indirect light. They bloom frequently in mixed seasons. Great candidate for vivariums and terrariums. The spike gets very long!
This is a mature, blooming size plant mounted on cork. Unless otherwise stated, it will not arrive in bloom or spike. Photos represent mature plants.

Potting mix: Fine bark or long fiber sphagnum, potted shallow. Mounted with moss.
Light: Shaded bright-medium. 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, 85F 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.
