Bulbophyllum species have creeping rhizomes and rounded pseudobulbs (bulblike stems).

The genus displays a wide diversity of growth forms, ranging from small epiphytes to large canelike species.
How do you get bulbophyllum to bloom?
If you have planted your Bulbophyllum in bark, it will need more frequent watering, as bark tends to dry faster.

To initiate flowering, some types of Bulbophyllum require a period of drought.
