Bulbophyllum cupreum

Sunlight Low to moderate, filtered light (1,000–2,000 fc). Avoid direct sun; dappled shade works best.

Temperature Intermediate to warm: 58–85°F (14–29°C). Most species prefer consistent warmth with high humidity.

Water Keep evenly moist—never let the medium dry out completely.

Maintenance High humidity (70–90%). Prefers shallow pots or mounts with sphagnum. Tree Fern Fiber is also an excellent option.

Free shipping on orders of $99+ within the US, including pre-orders. Orders under $99 are calculated at checkout based on size, quantity and destination.

When will it ship?
Live plants ship on Mondays and Tuesdays only, so they never sit in a carrier facility over the weekend. Supplies and pottery ship within 5–7 days; if they’re in the same order as a plant, everything ships together on Monday or Tuesday.

Cold-weather shipping
We only ship live plants when temperatures are 40°F or above. Below 50°F we include a free 72-hour heat pack and ship to arrive within 1–3 days; addresses that need more than 3 days in transit require an expedited upgrade. In the coldest months plant shipments may pause until it warms up.
