Bulbophyllum hirundinis is a miniature, exotic orchid species admired for its delicate, bird-like flowers and slender, arching stems. Native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, this unique species thrives in warm, moist, and filtered-light conditions. Its blooms feature long, narrow petals that resemble tiny wings in motion, often in hues of bronze, maroon, or soft yellow, accented by a fluttering mobile lip—a hallmark of many Bulbophyllum orchids.
The plant’s small stature, glossy green leaves, and tight-growing pseudobulbs make it ideal for terrariums or space-conscious displays. Though subtle in form, its flowers often appear multiple times a year, rewarding growers with unexpected bursts of movement and elegance.
Care Guide
-
Temperature: Daytime temperatures between 68–82°F (20–28°C) are ideal, with a night drop of at least 10°F. Avoid exposure below 60°F (15°C).
-
Humidity: Maintain high humidity (60% or above). A humidity tray or terrarium setup is highly recommended.
-
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid strong direct sun, which may scorch the leaves. Filtered morning light is ideal.
-
Watering: Keep evenly moist. Water frequently during the growing season but avoid soggy conditions. Never allow the plant to dry out completely.
-
Fertilizing: Use a diluted orchid fertilizer (1/4 to 1/2 strength) every 2 weeks in spring and summer. Reduce frequency in cooler months.
