Bulbophyllum dolichoglottis – a rare miniature orchid for collectors
A special species for lovers of unusual orchids: Bulbophyllum dolichoglottis delights with its compact growth and delicate, whitish flowers with red markings. Its strikingly long, narrow lip gives this little orchid its distinctive character.
Particularly charming is the contrast between its tiny stature and its surprisingly large flowers relative to the plant’s size—a small orchid with a big impact.
Origin: Native to Papua New Guinea, this species grows epiphytically in humid montane forests. With a natural height of approximately 4–5 cm, it remains wonderfully compact.
Care:
Light: Bright, filtered light to partial shade; avoid strong direct midday sun.
Temperature: warm-intermediate conditions with slightly cooler nights.
Watering: Keep evenly moist without allowing the growing medium to dry out completely. Avoid waterlogging and preferably use water low in minerals.
Humidity: High humidity, ideally around 60–90%, with good air circulation.
Growing medium: An airy, fine-grade orchid mix with sphagnum moss. Mounted cultivation is also possible if sufficient moisture is maintained.
Fertilizing: Feed regularly with a weak solution of orchid fertilizer during active growth.
