How to keep Bulbophyllum Occlusum.
Water
Bulbophyllum occlusum needs regular moisture but can withstand periods of drought. In the summer, water the plant once a week. During the fall and winter, water it every 10 days. Keep the air humidity high by misting regularly. Use water with a neutral pH for best results, and let tap water sit for a bit to release excess CO2 before using it, or opt for rainwater if available.
Pruning
Bulbophyllum occlusum showcases compact growth and vibrant blooms. To enhance flowering and maintain plant health, prune in early spring by removing dead stems to improve airflow. Avoid severe pruning; minimal intervention is ideal. Always use sterilized tools to prevent infections and promote vigorous growth throughout the season.
