Bulbophyllum Elizabeth Ann 'Buckleberry' - am I doing it right?

Many people read about how orchids need to dry out between watering. No Bulbos! They have very short roots compared to most orchids. This means the top of the medium should not become dry, and they do well in very shallow containers. This one likes to stay very wet. You could water every day.

I might add - the bananas are probably not a good idea to keep near your orchids. Ripening bananas (as well as Rosaceae fruits like apples and pears) release ethylene gas, which is a ripening and flowering hormone for many plants. It might cause your orchids to behave unexpectedly.

I don't normally keep them there - it's just delivery brought me some really green bananas, and this was the only warm enough spot in my house for them to ripen, because I have a propagation box with the heating pad there

Thank you all! I uncovered bulbos, but some roots now are also uncovered, is it ok?
