Orchids | Bulbophyllum Barbigerum

Botanical name: Bulbophyllum barbigerum
Common name: Bearded Bulbophyllum
Kingdom: Plantae
Family: Orchidaceae
Genus: Bulbophyllum
Origin: Tropical West and Central Africa

Light:
Thrives in low to medium indirect light. Avoid strong direct sun, which can damage its soft, succulent foliage. Ideal placement is in a shaded greenhouse, terrarium, or east-facing windowsill with diffused light.

Water:
Requires consistently moist conditions with high humidity (70–90%). Water frequently—daily if mounted or every 2–3 days if potted in a fine, moisture-retentive orchid medium such as sphagnum moss. Good air circulation is essential to prevent fungal issues.

Fertilizer:

A specific orchid fertilizer like Jack's bloom booster or Jack's classic orchid food.

You can also try a natural fertilizer like Bios plant probiotics in combination with their sulphur supplement works extremely well for epiphytic plants. Mix in yucca extract for better moisture retention in Calgary's dry weather as well as nutrient uptake.

Pet Friendly:
Generally considered pet safe, but as with all orchids, ingestion is not recommended. Place out of reach of pets to avoid leaf or flower damage.
