Care Instructions
 
Grow Bulbophyllum longiflorum on a mount for optimal air circulation and growth habit or in a pot and to allow for its creeping habit, ensuring sufficient air movement, especially in humidity above 80%. Provide moderate to low light for growth and flowers, spray mounts every day to mimic natural moisture conditions increasing in frequency during warmer weather and maintain an intermediate to warm greenhouse/terrarium with night temperatures of 15-20 degrees and daytime temperatures of 22-31 degrees. Suitable for indoor growth with ample light, and consistent but less watering schedules. Indoor plants need to be in a terrarium, or plants grown in a pot.
