Caring for Coelogyne intermedia
Coelogyne intermedia, also known as the "Dwarf Yellow Orchid," is a charming orchid variety that orchid enthusiasts love to grow. Here are some care tips to help you keep your Coelogyne intermedia healthy and thriving:
Light: Provide bright, indirect light for your Coelogyne intermedia. Avoid intense, direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
Temperature: Keep your orchid in a location with temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C) during the day and a slight drop in temperature at night.
Humidity: Maintain high humidity levels around 50-70% to mimic the orchid's natural tropical environment. Consider using a humidifier or a humidity tray.
Watering: Water your Coelogyne intermedia thoroughly when the top inch of the potting mix feels dry to the touch. Allow excess water to drain out completely.
Fertilization: Feed your orchid with a balanced orchid fertilizer diluted to half-strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.
Potting: Repot your Coelogyne intermedia every 2-3 years using a well-draining orchid potting mix. Repotting is best done after flowering.
