    Anyone know whether or not I should mount it on moss. I read that they like to be kept moist, but the in situ photos of it seem to show it growing on bare wood where they would dry quite fast. Also many of the pseudobubs on mine are yellowing/rotting. Any tips?

    I've grown this species in the past. It did well mounted without any moss, watered daily, being dry for a few hours before the next watering. Humidity was high and the light was bright.

    I take care of one. It's bare mounted on a slab of tree fern. It does get watered daily. It's in a good amount of natural sunlight, too. For yellowing/rotting, I'm not sure for this species. Could not be enough water, to even prior root rot.

    I am watching this thread because it’s interesting also for other species. I don’t have this Bulbophyllum although I really like it. The only thing I can say is that with moss you don’t see the roots really well so it’s harder to read the plant
