Welcome to the enchanting world of orchids! We are delighted to present Bulbophyllum falcatum, one of the gems of our collection. This fascinating and unique orchid will delight nature lovers with its exotic beauty and distinctive characteristics.

Product Description:

Bulbophyllum falcatum is a special orchid variety from the genus Bulbophyllum, known for its fascinating flowers and curved blade shape. Its petals and sepals have a unique appearance, resembling a curved blade, which gives this orchid an exotic and incomparable beauty.

Care:

This tropical gem requires specific care to flower in all its splendour. Here are some valuable tips to ensure healthy, long-lasting growth:

1. Lighting: Bulbophyllum falcatum likes indirect, diffused light. Place the plant in a spot where it receives filtered sunlight, avoiding direct exposure to intense sun rays, especially during the hottest hours of the day.
2. Watering: Keep a suitable balance when watering. Let the substrate dry out slightly between waterings, avoiding waterlogging of the roots. Watering frequency may vary according to weather conditions and the time of year.
3. Humidity: Bulbophyllum falcatum likes environments with high relative humidity. If the air is very dry, consider using a humidifier or placing the plant on a tray with pebbles and water, making sure the bottom of the pot is not submerged.
4. Temperature: This orchid prefers mild to warm temperatures, between 18°C and 30°C during the day and not below 15°C at night. Avoid exposure to cold draughts.

Fertilising:

Fertilising is essential to nourish Bulbophyllum falcatum and promote healthy growth and abundant flowering. Use a fertiliser specifically for orchids and follow the manufacturer's instructions, generally fertilising monthly during the active growth period.

Propagation:

Propagation of Bulbophyllum falcatum is generally carried out by growing new plants from the division of clumps or from keikis (side shoots) that appear on the stems.

Repotting:

Repotting should be done carefully, every two years or when the current pot can no longer accommodate the growth of the plant. Use a substrate suitable for epiphytic orchids and take care not to bury the roots too deeply.
