CARE GUIDE

How to keep Bulbophyllum Coriophorum.

Water

Bulbophyllum coriophorum thrives with sufficient moisture but can withstand occasional dry periods. During the summer, water it weekly, and reduce watering to every 10 days in the fall and winter. To maintain humidity, regularly mist the plant and use water with a neutral pH. Improve water quality by allowing it to sit for a while before using it, which helps neutralize the pH.

Pruning

Prune Bulbophyllum coriophorum in early spring, before new growth begins, to improve air circulation and prevent infections. Use sharp, sanitized tools, and avoid heavy pruning. Focus on maintaining the plant's shape. Annual pruning helps enhance blooming by redirecting energy, ensuring optimal health and aesthetics. For specific techniques, consult horticultural guides.
