About

Bulbophyllum fenestratum is a species of orchid in the section Cirrhopetalum that is native to Southeast Asia. The specific epithet fenestratum derives from the Latin fenestra, meaning "window".

How to grow it

In cultivation, Bulbophyllum fenestratum is described as an easy-growing species tolerant of a range of temperatures from hot to cool conditions. Like most members of the genus Bulbophyllum, it requires high humidity combined with good air movement and grows best at moderate light levels. The species is considered cold-tolerant relative to other members of its section.

Where it grows

Bulbophyllum fenestratum is found in Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Java, and Borneo. It grows as an epiphyte in rather open, dry primary forests at elevations between 100 and 1,100 metres.
