Bulbophyllum graveolens

A striking epiphyte from the tropical rainforests of Australasia, prized for its pendulous racemes densely packed with small, waxy blooms. It grows with a creeping, sympodial habit and produces pseudobulbs that support broad, leathery leaves.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun, which can scorch the leaves.
• Temperature: 55–72°F (13–22°C); a Cool to Intermediate grower with a minimum tolerance around 50°F (10°C).
• Humidity: 70–85%; mount or pot in a well-ventilated area and mist regularly to maintain moisture around the roots.
• Watering: Water frequently during active growth, allowing the medium to approach dryness briefly between waterings; avoid prolonged saturation at the roots.

Additional Notes

Best grown mounted on cork or tree fern, or in a shallow basket with a coarse, open mix (bark and perlite). Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
