Name: Bulbophyllum longiflorum
Origin: Africa, Madagascar, Southeast Asia to the Pacific

Description:

Bulbophyllum longiflorum is a fascinating orchid species that amazes with its long-stalked, radially arranged flowers. Each flower cluster consists of several elegant individual blooms, usually greenish-yellow and often speckled with purple—a play of shapes and colors that impressively represents the diversity of this genus.

The plant grows creeping and forms rounded pseudobulbs, each of which produces a glossy, leathery leaf. Thanks to its compact size, it is ideal for mounting on cork or growing in airy pots, and is also suitable for smaller greenhouses, terrariums, or windowsills with high humidity.

Care instructions:

Bulbophyllum longiflorum thrives in warm, humid conditions, such as those found in tropical cloud forests. It prefers temperatures between 20–28 °C, high humidity (70–90 %), and an airy, shaded location out of direct sunlight. The growing medium—for example, fine bark and moss—should remain slightly moist at all times, without becoming waterlogged. During the active growing season, weekly feeding with diluted orchid fertilizer is recommended.
