Bulbophyllum falcatum 'Standing Tall' 3in mounted

Bulbophyllym falcatum 'Standing Tall' is a particularly attractive cultivar with the typical flowers and appearance expected from this species. Very tiny and weird flowers on long bean like spikes that are small in comparison to the rest of the plant. The purple spike darkly contrasts the leaves. Bulbophyllum orchids generally prefer high humidity and will thrive in low-bright indirect light. They bloom frequently in mixed seasons. Great candidate for vivariums and terrariums. 

This is a mature, blooming size plant mounted on cork. Unless otherwise stated, it will not arrive in bloom or spike. Photos represent mature plants. 

BULBOPHYLLUM CARE INFO:

Potting mix: Fine bark or long fiber sphagnum, potted shallow. Mounted with moss.

Light: Shaded bright-medium. Must be given ample water and humidity for brighter locations. 

Water: Water frequently in hot months as the media reaches dry. These prefer moist conditions, do not allow them to fully dry out or stay dry for long. Enjoys a mild rest period of decreased watering and fertilizing in winter.

Temp: Intermediate-warm (55F min, 85F max). 

Humidity: 60-80%, prefers medium-high humidity. Ensure good air circulation for terrarium or greenhouse growing.

Fertilizing: 1/4-1/2 strength urea-free fertilizer, every month as new roots and leaves emerge. Run clean tap water through the growing media once monthly to prevent salt buildup. Light feeders - less is more.
