Bulbophyllum infundibuliforme subsp. infundibuliforme

This epiphytic orchid subspecies is native to the wet tropical biome, ranging from the Moluccas to New Guinea. It features ovoid to conical pseudobulbs and is notable for its funnel-shaped floral bracts (infundibuliforme means "funnel-shaped"), which enclose the developing flowers.

• Light: Provide moderate to bright indirect light, protecting the plant from direct, harsh sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
• Temperature: Maintain warm to intermediate conditions, ideally between 68-86°F (20-30°C) during the day, ensuring nighttime temperatures do not consistently drop below 60°F (15.5°C).
• Humidity: Requires high ambient humidity, striving for optimal levels between 70% and 80% to mimic its native tropical habitat.
• Watering: Water frequently and consistently to keep the well-draining medium evenly moist, avoiding complete drying or stagnation.

Additional Notes

The inflorescence typically produces 1 to 5 wide-opening flowers. This subspecies can bloom at various times throughout the year.
