Bulbophyllum kubahense – a very rare orchid from Borneo
Bulbophyllum kubahense is a very rare and exceptional botanical species from Sarawak, Borneo. Known from Kubah National Park, it grows in humid tropical lowland forest. Its elongated, leathery leaves emerge from small pseudobulbs spaced along a creeping rhizome. The short flower spikes bear numerous striking blooms, many of which open simultaneously—a special addition to any Bulbophyllum collection.
Available are vigorous young plants, as pictured, which are expected to reach flowering size in approximately 24 months with good care.
Care: Bulbophyllum kubahense prefers warm, humid conditions throughout the year. Choose a bright to partially shaded position with filtered light, protected from direct midday sun.
Use a loose, airy yet moisture-retentive potting mix, such as fine orchid bark with sphagnum moss and perlite. A shallow, wide container provides space for the creeping rhizome. Keep the pseudobulbs on the surface of the medium rather than burying them.
Water regularly to keep the medium evenly moist while avoiding waterlogging. Allow it to dry slightly between waterings, but never completely. Humidity of around 60–80%, combined with good air circulation, supports healthy growth. Feed regularly with a weak solution of orchid fertiliser during active growth. No pronounced dry rest period is required.
