Description

Bulbophyllum ambrosia

Name: Bulbophyllum ambrosia (Hance) Schltr.

Synonyms: Eria ambrosia Hance

Etymology: The genus name Bulbophyllum refers to the single leaf on each pseudobulb; ambrosia refers to the pleasant fragrance of the flowers.

Origin/Distribution: The species occurs in southern China and Vietnam.

Location/Habitat: We grow Bulbophyllum ambrosia under intermediate to warm conditions at around 16–26 °C, with high humidity, bright filtered light, and good air movement. During active growth, we keep the airy, slightly moisture-retentive substrate evenly lightly moist.

Description and Notes: This compact Bulbophyllum species is especially popular for its pleasant floral fragrance. The small flowers appear on short inflorescences near the pseudobulbs. We avoid prolonged complete drying out as well as a constantly waterlogged substrate.
