Bulbophyllum (Cirr.) lepidum

[paphioboy]

My oldest and most free-flowering bulbo. Produces flushes of new spikes after every rain. Each bulb can flower multiple times.

Oh, I am so amazed and jealous. I have it too, but it seems stable or deteriorating....

I love this type of Bulbo, hope they are compatible with Paphs culture wise. So I can start a collection of these by the time I have a greenhouse.

Nice, thanks for sharing.

We love it.
Very cool how one can show in the various stages of flowering.

 

[paphioboy]

Thanks, guys..

Thanasis, how are you growing it?

Marc, yes, they are compatible with paphs. I grow them hanging with a couple of multiflora paphs..

Happy plant. Happy grower!

It is mounted on a piece of wood along with some sphagnum. It gets phal-like light, temps are around 14-16oC with a bit less (~3oC) in the night for the winter and I water it every other day (when it was more cold I did not mist it at all fro 3- days...). Humidity stays around 70% (or a bit more).
When I got it in late summer, I watered it every day and most of the times twice per day. But it stayed the same since them. 1-2 leaves have dropped. It is showing new growths now though, so maybe this is an improvement....?

That looks great!

 

[paphioboy]

Thanks, Nick.

Thanasis, I think 14-16 degrees Celsius may be too low for its liking.

 

[biothanasis]

Hmm.... I see...so I hope from now on it will be happier, as the temps seem to rise bit by a bit...

What a lovely arrangement; almost looks like a florist put it together. Nice growing!
