This is my first plant and my first orchid. I would really like to be a good "parent" to it. As you can see in the title, it's a bulbophyllum daisy chain. Although I've looked for information online, I really don't know much about this particular type of orchid.
I am growing it indoors. The plant seems healthy--for now, anyway. It's a fairly young plant and I don't believe that it's bloomed before, although it already has several healthy-looking leaves. It's currently in a soil with a lot of wood (again, I know nothing about gardening). I bought it from a very reputable botanical garden, but their "orchid guy" had off that day.
I was told that I should water the orchid moderately twice a week, and fertilize it at 25% strength once a month with a formula made for orchids. I was also advised that it won't need to be repotted for some time, and it does seem comfortable in its current pot.
If you have any information on how I can care for this plant (watering, light, fertilizer, pruning, and other advice), I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!
