This plant can get huge. This is a piece of Bill Porter's plant that has been divided many times.
I've never gotten more than one or two flowers on a large plant, and I've never seen one grown mounted that lived. How do you do it? I don't think I could keep it wet all the time mounted; and how do you get so many flowers at once? I give it high light, moisture, and fertilizer, but it doesn't perform like yours.
Valenzino has the key -- depends on the source. Bill's plant was loaded with flowers the last time it bloomed.Really well flowered plant!Some selections flowers much better than others,depending on origin...
Unfortunately, that's true of most Bulbos. Then again, these flowers have dropped, but there are several more buds to open.A great blooming you have there Dot, and well pict. again!!!!
I got a piece of this species some months ago from our member Brice; I mounted it on cork, and it got 3 blooms, and a new growth; so seems to do well! Unfortunately the blooms only lasted for a few days . Jean

His plant grows like a weed, and hangs out all over the pot, crawling through the benches and getting tangled in anything around it. The last time I divided it, Bill didn't want to keep all the pieces (too many!), so I decided to experiment and mount one instead of putting it in a pot or basket. I water it at least every other day, and am growing it it bright, indirect in the cooler corner of my greenhouse. I don't know what I'll do when it outgrows it's plaque!
Cut off a piece and send it to me!
Is this the "Elephant Graveyard" Bulbo?
I'm not realy into Bulbos but I like this one! Especially since you postet that it's not smelling!:wink:
