Greetings ,
A very good friend of mine and myself traded some orchids, and in this deal
I recived some unknown Bulbophyllum species (we think it may be Bulbo.
lepidum)
Not being very knowledgable about Bulbo's , I mounted it on a branch that I
first covered with sphagnum moss , from there I wired the plants to the
branch , I guess the wait is on to see if this works , unless sombody knows
of a better way to grow Bulbo's or what I should do from here on out....
Any info is greatly appreciated
Bright days , & Good growing !

The general rule for bulbos is warm, bright shade, and wet. Mounting
is great as long as you can supply enough moisture - likely daily or
more frequently. I've had good luck with planting them in baskets
with sphagnum.
