🌱 Cultivation Tips for Bulbophyllum taiwanense

💡 Light:
Provide moderate to bright indirect light, around 15,000–20,000 lux. More light (without leaf burn) tends to enhance blooming frequency. Indoors, place near an east-facing window or use grow lights for best results.

🌡️ Temperature:
Thrives in warm to intermediate temperatures (21–27°C / 70–80°F), with a night drop of about 6–8°C (10–15°F) to stimulate flowering. Avoid frost and extremes; this species is best suited for stable indoor environments.

💧 Watering:
Maintain constant root moisture—do not let the potting medium dry out. Water generously during active growth, and slightly reduce in winter if growth slows. Due to its fine root system, even short dry periods can harm the plant.

💦 Humidity & Airflow:
This species loves high humidity (~70%) paired with excellent air circulation. Ideal for terrariums or enclosed growing spaces with fans or passive airflow to prevent fungal issues on the leaves.

🌿 Growing Media:
Bulbophyllum taiwanense can be grown mounted on cork or tree fern, or in shallow pots or baskets using moisture-retentive media like sphagnum moss, or a fine-grade bark mix with perlite. Avoid letting media break down—repot every 2–3 years during spring or autumn growth flushes.

🌱 Fertilizer:
Feed monthly to weekly with a dilute balanced fertilizer. Organic supplements like fish emulsion can also promote lush growth and regular blooming.
