Most Bulbos when happy explode in all directions horizontally. A well-watered one would typically overhang a pot within one growing season.

Well, that's excellent info ES. Obviously mine's been barely hanging in there for quite some time. Change is definitely coming the way of my lone Bulbo.

If you have a bit of time, Bill Thoms' talk for the San Francisco Orchid Society is on line

Jan 5, 2021 SFOS Zoom Meeting - Bill Thoms' Bulbophyllum talk - YouTube

Lots and lots of good info from one of the true experts on growing the genus.

(Some of their talks are in the members-only area but this one is available on their YouTube channel)

I watched this. Anybody who grows or wants to grow Bulbos needs to watch this. Or anybody who wants to grow any orchids.

Thanks so much Roberta! I'll watch it soon. Got a grandkid en route to help me with some yard work this morning. He's only seven, but he moves faster than I can and definitely has more energy!
