Coelogyne Orchids

Coelogyne orchids are my favorite orchids. They have small delicate blooms, are almost always fragrant, and can grow quickly and become very large if you allow them.

I use both moss and small media in my pots for Coelogyne orchids. I put moss around the roots and fill the pot with small media that has rockwool mixed in for keeping the media moist.

Coelogyne orchids can be overwatered just like all other orchids. So, if you see the pseudo bulbs turning yellow, check to make sure it is not too wet. If so, remove it from the pot and let it sit in a larger pot for several days until it drys out a bit. Coelogyne orchids are fairly easy to work with but like all orchids, too much heat, too much cold, or too much water can kill them quickly.

We have some very large Coelogyne orchids in our shop. Check them out and enjoy. Also, Coelogyne orchids love to hang in baskets. Enjoy!
