Bulbophyllum fascinator var. hampaliana

A captivating epiphyte from the cloud forests of Southeast Asia, bearing flowers with extraordinarily long, pendulous lateral sepals and fringed petal tips that give each bloom a dramatic, ornate appearance. It grows with a creeping rhizome and compact pseudobulbs, each carrying a single firm, upright leaf.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun to protect the foliage and pseudobulbs.
• Temperature: 58–75°F (14–24°C); an Intermediate grower with a minimum tolerance around 55°F (13°C).
• Humidity: 75–90%; mount or grow in a basket with excellent air movement to prevent rot at the rhizome.
• Watering: Water regularly during active growth, allowing the medium to approach dryness briefly between waterings; avoid standing water around the roots.

Additional Notes

Best grown mounted on cork or tree fern to suit its creeping habit, or in a wide shallow basket with a coarse, open bark mix. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
