How about you tell me about Bulbophyllum Shepherdi?
There is a very small species of epiphytic orchid in Australia that is called Bulbophyllum shepherdi. This plant does best when it is mounted, which means it is grown connected to a piece of cork, bark, or tree fern. Small, wiry rhizomes and delicate, short-lived flowers make it easy to spot. The name "Rope Orchid" derives from the fact that this naturalistic arrangement is designed to resemble like the plant's native setting and lets it grow freely, which is how it tends to tumble over like ropes.
Why should you put it up?
Mounting Bulbophyllum shepherdi helps to recreate the climate where it came from and helps plants grow in a healthy way. The act of mounting plants not only makes them look better, but it also helps air flow around the roots, which is very important for epiphytic orchids. A mounted orchid can also be turned into a live work of art, which makes it a great addition to homes, greenhouses, or shady outdoor spaces.
The best environment for plants to grow
The fact that this orchid does well in cool to moderate temperatures makes it perfect for a lot of different climates in Australia. It likes it best when there is a lot of wetness and dappled light. Misting it regularly and making sure there is enough air flow are important for keeping it healthy. More frequent watering is suggested during the warmer months; during the cooler months, it should be left to dry out a bit.
If you run a rope orchid nursery that sells plants in bulk, you might find that mounted culture is a good way to prepare plants for sale or trade that looks good and doesn't take up much room.
