Bulbophyllum moniliforme

I parted ways with mine - it went to a more suitable home. I found I just couldn't keep the humidity high enough for it in my growing conditions. It does like to dry out between watering, that much I do remember. Good luck! -Stephen

 

It likes moist but not constant wet, bright shade/ semi-shade, good humidity and good water. Mounted on hardwood or cork with a little bit/ not too much of moss. Temperature range is best at 60-80F.
See attached photo per your request and assuming this is the species we are talking about.

 

It was mounted on hardwood(blueberry bush branch) but the plant had been divided..., The piece that I have now is on cork.

 

Higher humidity should be good for this species. I would use a little bit of moss on the mount to help those plants to get established. Be patient with your seedlings, I got my first flower when my plant had 30+ growths.

 

yes, a tiny bit of moss under the plant will keep it moist for a bit longer. As long as you don't keep it constant wet, and with some air movement, you should not have to worry about the rot.

 

Good job! Good luck with it.

now, tell me where to find a real Bulbo. minutissimum here in U.S.

 

John, I was just joking. Thanks for the offer though.
Some vendors(foreign or domestic) had sold Bulbo. moniliforme as Bulbo. minutissimum, so there are some mislabeled plants here. Matter of fact, I have not seen a real Bulbo. minutissmum yet in person.

 

You don't have much of trouble to find Bulbo. minutissimum in Australia, do you?

 

I am surprised. I thought you would find one in Australia very easily..., I guess that explains why it is almost impossible to locate one here.
