Bulbophyllum amorosoanum

A tiny creeping Bulbophyllum described in 2017 from the Kalatungan Mountain Range on Mindanao, Philippines, with pseudobulbs only 2.5-4 mm long and single orange flowers. It grows in moss cushions on branches and trunks in deeply shaded montane rainforest at 1,200-2,100 m, so it wants cool-to-intermediate, constantly moist, shaded conditions. Almost nothing is published on its culture; care below is inferred from its habitat and from related montane miniatures.

Where it grows wild

An epiphyte creeping through moss cushions on branches and trunks in deeply shaded, mossy montane rainforest. The moss holds moisture around the fine rhizome and roots, and cloud and mist are frequent at this altitude.

1,200-2,100 m in the Kalatungan Mountain Range, which puts it in the cool-intermediate montane zone.
