Bulbophyllum guttulatum 'Marsh Hollow'

This bulbo is very easy to grow. For me it grows and flower regulary every summer. I have mine mounted on epiweb since it requires high humidity and heavy watering. It does not like to be in a stale and compact substrate. Be careful if you repot it, it does not like to get it's roots disturbed. Best time to do it is right befor the new growths sets roots, to reestablish quicker.
I grow mine warm. During summerdays 28 °C and during winterdays 22°C. Given 6-8 °C lower temperatures at nights. I give it a lot of light. It's placed close to the fan, given strong airmovment.
Good luck
Linda

 

ooooh, Wendy is getting into Bulbos now....bwa-ha-ha!!
Welcome to the stinky dark side, Wendy. Do as Linda says in the above post and you'll do well.

 

Oh nifty Wendy!

 

"Welcome to the stinky dark side"

Jesus, Mary Jane. If you're gonna be the poster girl for bulbophyllums you need to come up with something better than that.

 

Give me a break Dale. I'm fragile, doncha know.

I will give it more thought and see what I can come up with, Dale. Stay tuned

 

Your ball team lost again, didn't they. I forgot it was Monday.

 

My football team has been out of the running for a while. Most of the season, truth be known.
But just you wait til next year!!

Sorry Wendy, for the slight hijack. Dale started it, as usual.

You made a good choice with guttulatum, I hope you enjoy it!

 

Thats nice, Wendy! I like Marsh Hollows plants...I dont remember seeing them here at the past few shows, though

 

Wendy, If you need to grow it in a pot because of your growing space, may I offer you the experience of pumice from Charlie's Greenhouse. It's nice in being organic, therefore, no rotting medium (I've been using it for 10 years). Water the Bulbs daily as they like it wet and keep the fan as they like air movement.

 

Nice choice Wendy.

I picked up a small division of this species last Fall and I am hoping it will bloom for me soon

 

What's this?

 

Pumice is a volcanic material that holds water because it has pore spaces. Being a rock it doesn't breakdown. Check out Charlie's on the internet.

 

I am experimenting with pumice. I have one Bulbo in it presently.

Your guttulatum is much different than mine in coloring. This species was the first one that started my Bulbo collecting, so beware, LOL.
The person I got mine from is now deceased. For the old timers, it was Jeff-in-Tampa, but that was before he moved to Tampa.

Mine is spotted with a purple spotted lip
