Bulbophyllum wallachii

Hi Marni.

I grow this one, it does well for me. It is in a high ariflow spot and gets water like the bullk of my gh which is everyday during the summer and a few times a week during the winter. It does dry out pretty fast though due to its location. It is actually in active growth now.


edit- sorry for the last post, I was thinking of a different species.

 

I accidentally bloomed mine last year. Not sure what I did to make it bloom, though.

Hope that helps.

 

It's a wonderful species, Marni.

 

I just checked, and mine has a couple of new growths this year. I'll give some culture advice, but don't hold me to it.

I grow it in the middle-upper range of intermediate, daily water in the growing season (i.e. spring, summer, & fall), a couple of times a week in the winter, and very bright. It's a semi-deciduous species, so don't freak out if the leaves drop.

EDIT - Thanks for the avatar idea. That's a good pic.

 

HEY MARNI!

Just found a spike on mine.

 

Well, it's a nubby little spike. I would expect the end of January might be realistic. Or even optimistic.
