Bulbophyllum ericssonii
An epiphytic or rock-dwelling Bulbophyllum found from western Malesia (Borneo, Sumatra) to New Guinea. Little is published about its ecology; the few records place it in humid forest along rivers and on rocks, from the lowlands into the New Guinea highlands. Grow it as an intermediate-to-warm, humid, shaded Bulbophyllum on a mount or in a shallow basket.
Where it grows wild
Recorded from primary forest along small rivers and slopes, and in one case growing abundantly on rocks. It grows as an epiphyte or lithophyte with pseudobulbs along a creeping rhizome, like many of its relatives.
Only one record gives an elevation (about 380 m). Other localities range from lowland Borneo to river valleys in the Southern Highlands and Enga provinces of Papua New Guinea, which lie considerably higher, so it probably spans lowland to lower montane forest.
