Orchid not in bloom.
Pot 2.5"
TThe Bulbophyllum mastersianum × sib is an extraordinary sibling cross of the "umbrella orchid", producing 10-15cm hanging inflorescences with dozens of bizarre yellow-and-purple spotted flowers. Thriving in high humidity (75-90%) and warm 24-28°C temperatures, this advanced collector's plant demands mounted culture on tree fern with living sphagnum. Its notorious rotting fruit fragrance (though short-lived) makes it a conversation piece, while the intricate flower structure showcases Bulbophyllum diversity. While exceptionally rare in cultivation, sibling crosses offer sustainable alternatives to wild-collected specimens. Provide constant air movement and distilled water to prevent fungal issues in its dense foliage.
These care guidelines are based on general information and may need adjustments based on your specific growing conditions and the needs of your individual plant.
