Default I can tell you where I got mine

When I was in Michigan, I bought mine last year at Porter's Orchids. Be specific that you want a blooming sized orchid as I think it takes them awhile to get big enough. (I had one before that never did anything)

Default When mine first bloomed, I had it in a garden

window on the east side of my home. Right now, it is under some fluorescents in a growing cart. As far as medium is concerned, it is in a coconut husk mix, which it was in when I bought it. I think that the reason it is in that and why it likes it, is because it is kept on the moist side, as I know a few bulbophyllums like.

Bulb. medusae are not that rare, I see them for sale on the web numerous times.

I grow all my Bulbos mounted. It is an intermediate to warm grower. Shade to bright shade is fine. Reduce watering during cooler months.
