How to prune rothschild's bulbophyllum

After flowers fade and the inflorescence stem begins to dry. Use sterilised scissors to remove spent inflorescences at the base. When repotting every 2–3 years, cut away only fully desiccated, leafless pseudobulbs at the rhizome. Treat all cuts with cinnamon powder.

As needed — once per bloom cycle. Bulbophyllum rothschildianum needs very little pruning. Cut spent inflorescences at their base once blooming is done. Do not prune healthy pseudobulbs, rhizomes, or leaves — all parts remain photosynthetically active or serve as reserves. Only remove pseudobulbs that are completely dried, shrivelled, and leafless, and only when repotting.
