Bulbophyllum depressum

This petite Bulbophyllum not only enchants with its egg-shaped leaves, but also with its very delicate, yellow and purple flowers, which it produces in summer. Like many members of its genus, it grows epiphytically and therefore prefers to be kept mounted. Due to its small size, it is also very suitable for smaller terrariums.
The product photos show examples of the plant. You will receive a specimen that corresponds to the product photos in terms of size, shape and coloring.
- Growth type: Upright
- Origin: Bhutan, India, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Borneo, Sumatra and Java
- Other names: The Downward Pushed Bulbophyllum

Ben's tips on plant care:

- Location/light requirements: shaded to semi-shaded
- Substrate: mounted with Ben's Premium Sphagnum moss on Xaxim, roots or branches
- Temperature: optimal at 20-27° C (day), 15-18° C (night)
- Watering: Spray when tied up (daily during the growth phase, otherwise every 2-3 days), but allow the plant to dry out well.  Only use lukewarm water with a low lime content. Water less in winter.
- Humidity: requires high humidity, use a humidifier or place in the terrarium
- Addition of nutrients: Fertilize moderately every 2 weeks with diluted orchid fertilizer during the growing season. Less frequently in fall, not at all in winter
- To keep the moisture at its roots, the plant should ideally be tied up with some sphagnum moss.
- Ensure that the terrarium is well ventilated to prevent fungal infestation.
