The Orchidaceae are a diverse and widespread family of flowering plants, with blooms that are often colourful and fragrant, commonly known as the orchid family. Along with the Asteraceae, they are one of the two largest families of flowering plants. The family encompasses about 6–11% of all seed plants.
They may like a good amount of moisture for their pseudobulbs to remain plump, but the roots still need a good amount of air to them. They can dry out completely for up to 2 -3 days, (sometimes as much as 1 week, depending on the circumstances), without any signs of distress before needing to be watered again.
Bulbophyllums enjoy regular, slow-release fertilizers, particularly during the summer months. Between August and January, the best type of fertilizer is rich in nitrogen, while phosphorus-rich fertilizers are best during late summer and autumn. You can use a quarter strength fertilizer once a week during summer, and you can use a spray fertilizer occasionally. During winter, add fertilizer roughly once a month.
A soil composed of peat moss, loam, or sand, or any soil mixture with good drainage can be used. The soil should not be overly fertile.
