Bulbophyllum plumatum 3" FS
Bulbophyllum plumatum
species - Malaysia, Sumatra, Philippines
This is listed as a cool grower that we have been growing successfully with nights of 65 degrees. We have yet to put them in our "cool house", but that would only amount to a change of -10 degrees. The plants are small and compact. They are Winter blooming and are flowers are held 3-4 in an umbel-like group. They are 3-4z" in length hanging on wiry stems more or less horizontally. The plants like shady conditions and would prefer moist roots. They can also be successfully grown mounted on cork or other suitable material (avoid marine driftwood as sea salt is toxic to them). Use a liquid or water soluble plant food once a month.
