Description
Bulbophyllum rufuslabrum is a fascinating orchid species, known for its unique appearance and intriguing floral structure. This epiphytic plant typically grows on trees in humid environments, displaying pseudobulbs that serve as water storage organs. Its flowers are small and often waxy, with a distinctive reddish-brown labellum that gives the species its name. The plant is well-suited to intermediate to warm growing conditions, with good humidity. Its delicate roots require a well-draining potting mix, such as sphagnum moss or a mix of bark.

The leaves are typically lance-shaped and can exhibit a range of green hues. Bulbophyllum rufuslabrum offers a rewarding challenge for orchid enthusiasts with its particular care needs and rewards with beautiful flowers. This orchid can be propagated by dividing the pseudobulbs when repotting. A bit of patience will lead to enjoying these beautiful plants.
