Humidity: Maintain high humidity levels of around 50-70% for your Coelogyne confusa. Consider using a humidifier or placing a tray of water near the plant.
Watering: Water your orchid when the top layer of the potting mix feels dry to the touch. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged roots.
Fertilization: Feed your Coelogyne confusa with a balanced orchid fertilizer once a month during the growing season. Avoid fertilizing during the dormant winter period.
