Bulbophyllum saltatorium is a small, warm growing orchid species from tropical Africa. Similar to other species from this genus, this orchid is sympodial. The pseudobulbs are ovoid and a couple of centimeters when mature. From every pseudobulb a singular leathery leaf develops. Flowering time is in winter, when a large up to 80 centimeters raceme containing multiple red to purple flowers is produced. The lip of the flower is heavily fringed with purple hairs. Propagation is mostly done by dividing.
Bulbophyllum saltatorium originates from warm to hot areas not above 900 meters altitude. It prefers a humid, warm environment. Provide this plant with a bright shade and protect from direct sunlight except for morning light. Keep this species in an airy substrate that could hold a lot of moisture. Be sure that this orchid never dries out completely. Also avoid standing water around the roots. Fertilize this plant with orchid fertilizer 1/4 or 1/2 the recommended strength, every other watering.
