Bulbophyllum ankylochele
A charming epiphyte from the tropical forests of New Guinea, bearing solitary flowers with open, trilobed spreading sepals and a prominent, rounded, fleshy orange labellum that stands out boldly against the tepals. It grows with a compact, tufted habit producing narrow, upright leaves that make it an attractive specimen even out of bloom.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 40–50% shade cloth; tolerates slightly more light than many Bulbophyllum species.
- Temperature: 65–86°F (18–30°C); a Warm grower with a minimum tolerance around 60°F (16°C).
- Humidity: 70–85%; provide good air circulation to keep roots healthy.
- Watering: Water frequently during active growth, allowing the medium to approach dryness briefly between waterings; avoid prolonged saturation at the roots.
Additional Notes
Can be grown in a pot with a well-draining bark mix or mounted on cork; its compact tufted habit makes it well-suited to pot culture. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
