CARE GUIDE

How to keep Bulbophyllum Conchidioides.

Water

Bulbophyllum conchidioides thrives in environments with sufficient moisture but can also endure periods of drought. During the summer, water the plant once a week. In the fall and winter, extend the watering interval to every 10 days. To maintain humidity, mist the plant regularly. It's best to use water with a neutral pH—whether tap or rainwater—and let it sit for a while before use to allow any dissolved substances to dissipate.

Pruning

Bulbophyllum conchidioides is known for its lush foliage and vibrant flowers. To keep it healthy and thriving, prune the plant in early spring. This will help remove any dead parts, thin out overcrowded areas, and shape the plant. Regular pruning encourages more blooms and helps prevent disease. Be sure to use sterilized tools for pruning to maintain the plant's health.
