HELP: Bulbophyllum Care

[pikkumyy]

Hi all,
i know this is like asking 'how long is a piece of string', but the other night at my society meeting, i bought a couple of orchids of one of the members selling his collecting, the orchids i bought were a Sarcochilus Fitzhart($8), and an big Arpophyllum giganteum ($20), and in the pot of the Arp. their was a bulbo which had snapped off one of the plants, as the man was taking the orchid out of his shadehouse,

sadly the man didn't know which type of bulbo it was so (seeing as how bulbo's are the largest genus of orchids apparently).

I'll do my best to take a picture of the p-bulb tomorrow, but it is small (about the size of my thumbnail if i remember correctly, and it has a new lead coming)


so my question is: Are their any 'general' guide lines i can follow for the care of my new NOID Bulbo.?

Here are the 2 threads I did on my first bulbo. In the 1st one I think Katrina and several others say how they have theirs potted. Hope this helps. Sometimes I have just Googled the name and have come up with care sheets. Mine is starting to look good, new roots and the leaves are finally starting to loose that yellow tinge they had and starting to turn a lovely shade of green.

I've never chosen to add these to my collection but someone gave me a medusea that clearly wasn't thriving. I had no idea what to do with it so I put it on a layer of lava rock in a basket and put a layer of sphrag on top because I read that many like to be on the wet side. It is still alive after a month but, as you can guess, I can't really give you any help. Hope someone else will!
