Discover the rare beauty of Bulbophyllum forrestii, a collector’s must-have orchid originating from the misty, high-altitude montane forests of Southeast Asia. Renowned for its fascinating garlic clove-shaped pseudobulbs and striking, fan-like clusters of vibrant orange-yellow blooms, this cold-growing epiphytic gem is a showstopper for intermediate to advanced growers. Because it thrives in cool conditions, it remains perfectly healthy and happy under 24°C, requiring a distinct nightly temperature drop and a winter cooling phase down to 10°C–12°C to trigger its spectacular spring transformation. Unlike many of its relatives, this moisture-loving species is better to grow in a plastic pot packed with fine bark or sphagnum moss, which locks in the constant, uniform root hydration it craves while protecting its shallow root system from drying out too quickly. Add this authentic botanical treasure to your collection today and watch your indoor setup truly come to life! If grown on mount, requires constant moisture. Let not this scare you as most Bulbophyllum on mounts require constant moisture.
The plant has happily survived heat waves in our greenhouse.
