Bulbophyllum longissimum putidum
orchids
Description
Bulbophyllum longissimum putidum is a captivating orchid species from the Bulbophyllum genus. It's an epiphyte, often found in tropical rainforest environments, and famous for its exceptionally long, thread-like petals. Its slender, dangling flowers can reach lengths of up to 2 meters and sway gently in the breeze. The petals are typically pale yellow or greenish, with a slight odor. The plant itself features pseudobulbs that store water, which provide moisture. It thrives in humid conditions with bright, indirect light. For cultivation, a well-draining medium is essential. Water it regularly, allowing it to dry out slightly between waterings, and try growing it in a hanging basket to showcase its unique flower stalks.
