Orchid not in bloom.
Pot 2.5"
The Bulbophyllum falcatum × sib is a fascinating West African species prized for its unique curved flower racemes that arch like sickles, adorned with small yellow-cream blooms along a purple stem. This intermediate-advanced orchid thrives in stable 22-28°C temperatures with extremely high humidity (75-90%), making it ideal for sealed terrariums or orchidariums. Grow mounted on bark with a sphagnum moss base, maintaining constant moisture without waterlogging. Its rare status in cultivation reflects both its specific habitat requirements and limited propagation, though sibling crosses offer exciting colour variations. While the flowers emit a faint unpleasant scent to attract fly pollinators, the plant's architectural form makes it a conversation piece for serious collectors.
These care guidelines are based on general information and may need adjustments based on your specific growing conditions and the needs of your individual plant.
