Bulbophyllum ambrosia

This adaptable lithophytic orchid is celebrated for its temperature tolerance and unique growing characteristics, making it an interesting specimen for collectors seeking versatile orchid species.

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight which can damage the small pseudobulbs and leaves.
• Temperature: Thrives across a wide temperature range from hot to cool conditions. Ideal daytime temperatures can range between 18-28°C (65-82°F), making it more adaptable than many orchid species.
• Humidity: Requires moderate to high humidity, ideally between 60-75%. Good air circulation is essential to prevent fungal issues while maintaining healthy growth.
• Watering: Water regularly during growing season, allowing slight drying between waterings. The lithophytic nature means it can tolerate slightly drier conditions than purely epiphytic species.

Additional Notes

This small orchid has compact leaves and pseudobulbs that look great mounted or potted. It's a rock-growing species that needs good airflow and can adapt to different growing setups. Unlike many Bulbophyllum orchids, it tolerates various temperatures, making it easier to grow in different climates.
