Sorry I know a very old post, but for anyone still growing it would you know the minimum temperature needed for this plant to not decline.
I purchased one recently and had a similar washed out look after being in the mail for 3 days and want to ensure its survival.

The hot weather has arrived (36c today), and my Pardolatum has lost 2 leaves right on queue. So I'm now down to one leaf and need to take action or it's Bulbo heaven. I guess I'm wondering now is this a cool grower only - does it tolerate heat? I have an B elassoglossum near it that's doing great.

edit - I may start a new thread and post a pic of what remains, I'm convinced it's a lack of water so would be interested in seeing how it goes in s/h.

I think the secret to getting the relatively-cool growers though the heat is to water the heck out of them (twice a day or more)

Bulbos often have very short roots compared to other orchids. If the water level in the S/H pot is too low the roots won't reach it. Either make sure the environment is extremely humid, or drill the holes much closer to the top of the container.

Bill Thoms of bulbophyllums.com pots in very shallow, wide containers. He puts a mound of foam packing peanuts in the center, then drapes sphagnum moss over it. He waters his Bulbos once or twice every day, thoroughly soaking them. He tries never to let them dry out. He says he needs to set some species in their containers in shallow dishes of water because they use so much water.

This plant seems to react fairly quickly to its environment.

Hi! May I know what do you call the material of the slab used on the orchid below the picture of the bulbophyllum?
