Bifrenaria aureofulva

Bifrenaria aureofulva is a medium-sized epiphytic orchid known for its golden-yellow flowers with distinctive fragrance. This Brazilian species produces compact pseudobulbs and attractive blooms that make it a prized addition to any orchid collection.

• Light: Bright, indirect light. Morning sun is beneficial but avoid harsh afternoon direct sunlight. East-facing windows provide ideal conditions.
• Temperature: Intermediate to warm temperatures between 18-28°C (65-82°F). Can tolerate slight temperature drops at night.
• Humidity: High humidity levels of 60-80%. Use a humidifier, humidity tray, or group with other orchids.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when pseudobulbs show slight wrinkling. Allow good drainage between waterings to prevent root rot.

Additional Notes:

Grows well mounted on cork bark or in well-draining orchid bark mix. The fragrant flowers typically appear in spring and can last several weeks with proper care.
