Caring for Your Coelogyne Flaccida
Coelogyne Flaccida, known for its exquisite blooms and elegant foliage, requires attentive care to thrive. Position your plant in bright, indirect light to mimic its natural habitat, while avoiding harsh, direct sun that can scorch the leaves. Maintain a temperature range between 65°F to 80°F, ensuring it is placed in a location with good air circulation.
Water your Coelogyne Flaccida regularly, allowing the potting medium to dry out slightly between waterings, as overwatering can lead to root rot. Use a well-draining orchid mix to support healthy root growth. During the growing season, provide a balanced orchid fertilizer every month to encourage robust growth and abundant flowering.
Humidity is key; aim for 50-70%, which can be achieved through misting or using a humidity tray. After its flowering period, reduce watering and provide a cooler environment to encourage dormancy. With attentive care, your Coelogyne Flaccida will reward you with vibrant blooms, making it a cherished addition to your orchid collection.
