Bulbophyllum kubahense

Bulbophyllum kubahense, also known as the 'Kubah National Park Bulbophyllum' is an extremely rare epiphytic orchid, native to Sarawak Borneo. This small Bulbophyllum variety produces oval-shaped, emerald green leaves with cylindrical pseudobulbs, and a striking array of white flowers covered with deep red-purple specks. With very few available to purchase, the Bulbophyllum kubahense is a must have for any serious orchid collector!

CARE:

Requires bright, filtered light outdoors, sheltered from any direct sun. Being an epiphytic species, the Bulbophyllum can either be mounted on your choice of raft, or potted in a shallow orchid pot, using small-medium grade orchid bark. If mounted, the Bulbophyllum will require increased humidity and very frequent watering to maintain adequate hydration. Potted Bulbophyllum requires frequent and thorough watering, allowing water to run completely through the pot. Fertilise fortnightly with an orchid specific fertiliser throughout spring and summer.
