Bulbophyllum stenobulbon

Bulbophyllum stenobulbon is native to South East Asia and tropical China where it grows both as an epiphyte, and as a lithophyte on mossy rocks and cliffs in open forests from around 500-800m altitude. We have seen plants growing in Southern Laos scrambling in the lower branches of mossy trees where they experience warm wet summers and cooler dryer winters. We find that plants do well either grown warm in our indoor orchid cases (min 17C), or in our Cloud Forest Greenhouse (min 12C) reflecting the plants range in the wild. We find that plants are particularly happy mounted on cork bark where they really show off their masses of yellow flowers produced from between the pseudobulbs.
