Bulbophyllum rugosum

This distinctive epiphytic orchid species is renowned for its unique flattened pseudobulbs that creep along surfaces and small flowers with characteristic wrinkled texture that emit a strong, distinctive fragrance.

• Light: Requires bright, filtered light without direct sun exposure. Provide consistent lighting conditions with some air movement around the plant.
• Temperature: Thrives in intermediate to warm conditions with temperatures of 18-28°C (65-82°F). Tolerates slight temperature fluctuations but prefers stable conditions.
• Humidity: Demands high humidity levels of 70-85% with excellent air circulation to prevent fungal issues and promote healthy growth.
• Watering: Keep consistently moist during growing season but allow slight drying between waterings. Reduce watering slightly during cooler months while maintaining humidity.

Additional Notes

The flattened pseudobulbs create an interesting creeping growth pattern along mounting surfaces, while the small wrinkled flowers provide unique texture and strong fragrance that attracts pollinators.
