Bulbophyllum grandiflorum is relatively easy to care for and thrives in moderate to bright indirect light. Well-draining, consistently moist soil is ideal, especially during the active growth period from late spring to the end of summer. Avoid letting the roots sit in water to prevent root rot. Optimal day temperatures are around 24–26°C in summer and 18–20°C in winter, while night temperatures can range from 18–20°C and 5–7°C respectively. High humidity above 60% and good ventilation help keep the plant healthy. Repotting can be done after flowering if necessary.
