Bulbophyllum vaginatum

The Bulbophyllum vaginatum is a native orchid species of Singapore with a compact, creeping growth habit and seasonal flowering character. It is a thoughtful choice for orchid collectors who enjoy species orchids, local native plants, and unusual Bulbophyllum forms. This orchid is best grown in a bright, humid, and airy position where the roots can receive moisture without staying stagnant.

Each order is supplied as a cutting of about 3 to 5 bulbs from the mother plant shown in the product image. As this is a seasonal flowering orchid, bulb cuttings are usually sold unless the plant is in its blooming season. The cutting may arrive without open flowers, but it can continue growing with steady care and may flower again when the plant is mature and the season is suitable.

Bulbophyllum orchids are appreciated for their diverse flower shapes, fine roots, and natural tropical growth style. This plant suits collectors, shaded balcony gardens, orchid racks, terrariums with airflow, and sheltered outdoor growing areas. Because every cutting is taken from a living plant, bulb size, root growth, leaf condition, and flowering stage may vary naturally. These small differences are normal for live orchid cuttings.

Orchid Care

Grow your Bulbophyllum orchid in bright filtered light or gentle semi-shade with good humidity and airflow. Water in the morning when the growing media begins to approach dry, then let excess water drain away. Avoid harsh afternoon sun, strong air-conditioner airflow, and waterlogged conditions. Mounted plants and small cuttings may dry faster, so check the roots and media regularly during warm weather.

• Fertilizer: Feed lightly during active growth with EzGro NPK Foliar Blue Fertilizer 63. For flowering support, use EzGro NPK Foliar Pink Fertilizer 67.
• Growing Media: Repot or establish the cutting with airy orchid growing media, such as coarse charcoal, bark, sphagnum blend, or other fast-draining orchid potting medium.
