Description

Bulbophyllum rothschildianum (5 cm pot)

Name: Bulbophyllum rothschildianum (O'Brien) J.J.Sm.

Synonyms: Cirrhopetalum rothschildianum O'Brien

Etymology: The genus name Bulbophyllum is composed of Greek word elements meaning "bulb" and "leaf." The specific epithet rothschildianum is an honorific for a member of the Rothschild family.

Origin/Distribution: Northeastern India and adjacent regions of the Himalayas.

Location/Habitat: The species grows epiphytically in humid montane forests. We recommend semi-shady to bright, filtered light, high humidity, and continuous air circulation. Temperate to warm-temperate conditions of approximately 14–26 °C during the day and 10–18 °C at night are favorable. The roots should receive regular moisture during growth.

Description and Notes: Bulbophyllum rothschildianum forms pseudobulbs on a creeping rhizome and bears one leathery leaf each. Particularly spectacular are the fan-shaped inflorescences with elongated, dark-patterned floral segments. We cultivate the species in a loose, very airy substrate and use the softest water possible. Good air circulation is especially important when humidity is high.
