Bulbophyllum aff. thydoi

Bulbophyllum aff. thydoi, native to northern Vietnam, is notable for its leaves that display a metallic blue sheen, reflecting light with a striking iridescent effect that shifts depending on the viewing angle.

Care Tips:

• Light: Bright, filtered light; avoid direct midday sun
• Humidity: Maintain 75% or higher for optimal growth
• Watering: Keep evenly moist; never allow the medium to fully dry out
• Air movement: Provide good airflow to prevent rot and fungal issues
• Temperature: Warm to intermediate conditions (avoid cold drafts)
• Potting medium: Use a very airy mix (e.g., fine bark, sphagnum moss, or mounted culture)
• Fertilizing: Weak fertilizer solution (¼–½ strength) every 1–2 weeks during active growth
• Rest period: Slightly reduce watering in cooler or slower growth periods, but do not let it dry completely
