Grow in well draining but moisture retentive media.  We have started ours in pots and by the time they outgrow their current containers, they will be ready for shallow baskets or pan pots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlooming Size in 4\" pots\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"503\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\" width=\"503\"\u003ePRODUCT INFORMATION\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"174\"\u003eITEM NUMBER\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1039040\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"174\"\u003ePOT SIZE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4\" pot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"174\"\u003eALLIANCE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBulbophyllum\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"174\"\u003ePLANT TYPE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHybrid (Seedling)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"174\"\u003eBLOOM COLOR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreen\/Tan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"174\"\u003eEXPECTED FIRST FLOWERING\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExpected to flower for the first time within 12 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"174\"\u003eFRAGRANT?\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot Fragrant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"174\"\u003eLIGHT REQUIREMENTS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShady, medium light\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"174\"\u003eSIZE AT MATURITY\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompact\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"174\"\u003eBLOOMING SEASON\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSummer\/Fall\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"174\"\u003eSUITABLE FOR WINDOWSILLS?\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"174\"\u003eTEMPERATURE REQUIREMENTS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"329\"\u003eWarm Grower- This plant prefers warm temperatures of 65 degrees or above year round.  Which means it prefers warm winters and can tolerate hot summers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"174\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"329\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Carter and Holmes Orchids","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42755027173456,"sku":"10390\/40","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0256\/2696\/8144\/files\/10390Bulbophyllym.jpg?v=1751568541","url":"https:\/\/www.carterandholmes.com\/products\/bulbophyllum-micholitzii-var-album-x-bulbophyllum-arfakianum-1","provider":"Carter and Holmes Orchids","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
