Bulbophyllum patens

Bulbophyllum patens

A warm-growing epiphyte from the lowland and montane forests of Southeast Asia, producing large, wide-open solitary flowers with five spreading lanceolate sepals arranged in a bold star formation. The surface is finely spotted and marked with strong longitudinal veining, while short lateral petals and a small fleshy labelo complete the center of this impressively flat, wide-spreading bloom.

  • Light: Bright indirect light with 40–50% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun to protect the foliage.
  • Temperature: 65–86°F (18–30°C); a warm grower with a minimum tolerance around 60°F (15°C).
  • Humidity: 70–85%; maintain high humidity with strong air movement to keep roots healthy.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mix to approach dryness between waterings; avoid prolonged saturation at the roots.

Additional Notes

Best grown mounted on cork or tree fern, or in a basket with a coarse bark mix for excellent drainage and airflow. Ships bare root, well established.
