Bulbophyllum championii is a captivating miniature orchid species native to the montane cloud forests of western New Guinea, specifically the Bintuni Regency in Papua Barat Province. This orchid is very small, making it perfect for terrariums where space and humidity can be carefully controlled.

Features:

  • Size: Bulbophyllum championii is a miniature epiphyte, with mature plants reaching about 10–12 cm in height.

  • Inflorescence: A single-flowered inflorescence arises laterally from the pseudobulb, with a short peduncle and two sheaths.

  • Habitat: Endemic to the Bintuni Regency in West Papua, Indonesia, where it grows as an epiphyte in humid montane forests.

Care Tips:

  • Light: Provide bright, indirect light; avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch.

  • Temperature: Warm to intermediate, 18°C–29°C (65°F–85°F) during the day, with a slight drop at night. It’s sensitive to cold below 13°C (55°F).

  • Humidity: High, 70%–90%. It thrives in terrariums, greenhouses, or with regular misting.

  • Watering: Keep the medium (e.g., sphagnum moss, bark, or mounted on cork) consistently moist but not soggy. Good air circulation prevents rot.

  • Air Movement: Essential to mimic its breezy forest home and keep the fine roots healthy.

  • Fertilizer: Light feeding (e.g., 1/4 strength orchid fertilizer) every 2–4 weeks during the growing season.
