Bulbophyllum in hydro?

[myorchid]

I have a Bulbo that I would like to try to grow hydroponically. Has anyone tried this and what is your experience with it?

It is currently mounted but does not appear to be growing, and I have trouble keeping it as wet as I think it likes.

Any advise is appreciated.

Thanks!

I only have one bulbo, and I grow it in a plastic basket, with bark/ charcoal, and sphagnum. I spray the medium every day. I've never grown in hydro, so I'm afraid that I'm not much help. What type of bulbo is it?

It is a makoyanum. Thanks, Patti

Same here. Only have a couple and both are in spagh. and I water almost daily to keep wet. No idea on how they do in hydro.

I personally think that they would do well, but I don't have any bulbos to try with. From my understanding they are a sprawling and spread quickly which could be difficult to contain in S/H pots.

If you try, please keep us updated. I would really like to see your results.
