Bulb. Medusae
Bulbophyllum medusae is named after the mythical monster, Medusa, who had a head of snakes for hair. Bulb. medusae prefers hot growing conditions with ample water, humidity, and air movement at all times. Since the plants never rest in their native tropics, this amazing species may be fertilized year-round if proper temps are maintained. Our BS seed grown plants are available in 4 in. pots.
