Description
General info
Genus
The Bulbophyllum are one of the largest orchid genera in the world with more than 1800 species. They originate mainly from Southeast Asia but there are species in America. They are characterized by succulent rounded leaves with smooth rounded bulbs. Most of its species are found in cloudy forests of intermediate elevation, which means that they adapt very well to warm places. Occupying the same niche as the Pleurothallidinae in attracting flies for pollination, they come in many forms that resemble Pleurothallidinae so much that they make good alternative for those who want high elevation miniatures for warm places..
Species
Bulbophyllum cocoinum hardy from a wide range of climates with long inflorescences filled with elongated white flowers that resemble Dendrochillum. This species produces a very special coconut fragrance.

The plants are strong and succulent but they are still from tropical forests so they prefer humid conditions and constant watering while maintaining good drainage.
The Bulbophyllum cocoinum is a hardy plant from hot to cold climates making it ideal for people in temperate climates and suitable for almost all of Panama.
We recommend placing them on mounts because they grow like vines and tend to climb out of the baskets while mounted so by hanging them they will wrap arround.
They do not tolerate much excess salinity.
