Bulbophyllum affine is a member of the Sestochilus section of Bulbophyllum. It is found from almost sea level to around 2000m. Best grown in pots or baskets with a coarse, shallow mix and kept evenly moist. Will grow in strong light but protection from direct sun will stop the leaves from becoming burnt.
