A finales de septiembre del 2014 os presentaba en flor esta pequeña orquídea filipina. Colocando fotografías he encontrado estas de una segunda flor en diciembre. Los datos sobre el cultivo los tenéis en el siguiente enlace Bulbophyllum pardalotum
Bulbophyllum pardalotum Garay, Hamer & Siegrist 1995, es una pequeña epifita filipina con un crecimiento reptante que la hace ideal para su montaje en pequeños troncos o ramitas en los que pueda lucir su llamativas flores colgantes en el aire.
Las flores de unos 2 centímetros, apenas duran poco más de una semana, pero son relativamente grandes para el tamaño de la planta y pueden aparecer en cualquier momento del año. Son de un color dorado (amarillo oscuro) con un fuerte moteado formando rayas de color burdeos en los sépalos y llamativos contrastes en los pétalos. Una característica llamativa es que se abren por el día y se cierran por la noche.
Detalle del soporte de fibras vegetales en que venía montado. Los pseudobulbos se van extendiendo y colonizándolo. Las 2 fotografías siguientes son de septiembre y las dos últimas de diciembre.
What a striking beauty, so well grown and beautiful pictures, thank you for showing it

EliminarFantastic photo's of this beautiful orchid. Can you help me please. I have a new plant growing on the stem of the phalaenopsis. Can you cut it off and plant it on it selve? Second question, will the old bulbs of the bulbophyllum the white and famous one, bring flowers on the old ones again or do you have to cut this bulbs. I hope you can help me. The plants whats about are on my blog now.

Hello. Yes, you can separate the keiki and plant it. I leave a link for example.

As for the ancient pseudobulbs, we must distinguish those of the deciduous Dendrobiums, because they are simply a time without leaves, it doesn't mean that they are "old". In other orchids, such as the Bulbophyllum and non-deciduous, the old pseudobulbs contain reserve substances to feed the new sprouts. It should keep a balance and when there are too many pseudobulbs without leaves, agrees to remove some to the transplant and or divide the plant. These old pseudobulbs can be placed in Moss and expect to give new shoots, although they take a long time and it does not work with all. Best regards
I made a mistake with the name of the second one is a dendrobium I think.
ResponderEliminarYes, Dendrobiums, why commented you in that some are deciduous, but they do not mean that do not bloom in the next season back. Best regards
EliminarThanks so much Angel for your very welcome advise.
EliminarHave a wonderful day.
Thank you Marijke. The same. A hug
