fifty bucks for this??!! ok...three bulbs and one is yellowing its leaves....but this might grow a baby soon as it gets acquainted with your environment and that is the one that will flower for you=your fourth bulb
I like the repot in a basket and you can still do the water in a plastic but just don't let it touch the moss it will rot the roots you just want evaporation of the water towards the roots and when it gets dry it is a signal for you to drench it under the sink to flush out salt and crystal deposits....I remember Brooke wrote that she puts a bowl of water under her Bulbos even if she has high humidity in her environment.

This might have gotten abused slightly from me as wel...I got my care info switched in my head there for a while.

Bulbophyllum macranthum is an equatorial orchid from southeast Asia, with long, creeping rhizomes and large, sweetly-scented flowers pollinated by flies. Give it warmth but moderately shaded light and high humidity....you want this evenly moist but not wet....you are doing fine just continue the culture and care = you will be rewarded with bright colored flowers that are sweetly fragrant.
