Bulbophyllum treschii

[e-spice]

I like this compact, pretty bulbo a lot. I got this one a couple years ago and this is the first time it bloomed for me.

Interesting. Can you show us the plant?

Sure - I included a small one of the plant.

Cool flower, and good growing on your part.

Does it have a fragrance or a stench?

Thanks. I've checked for fragrance in the day and at night and couldn't detect anything at all. It kind of looks like it would smell musty but doesn't.

Not detecting anything at all is not the worst outcome. Thanks for checking.

Great yellow octopus you have there! Would you mind giving some culture tips? Especially how bright you grow it. I have one which has been growing well for the last year, but has not bloomed. I have it in bright Phal conditions. Love Bulbo just haven't figured them out yet.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone.

Hi Juliana - The lighting sounds about right. I grow mine under four 18-watt LED tubes. I'd say it's bright phal light. Almost all bulbo like to be kept very moist. I mist mine daily. Temperatures go from about 60-75 year round. It seems to grow pretty slowly.
