Caring for your Coelogyne Mooreana 'Westonbert'
Coelogyne Mooreana 'Westonbert' is a beautiful orchid known for its delicate, fragrant flowers. To ensure your plant thrives, follow these care tips:
Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct midday sun, which can scorch the leaves. A spot near an east or west-facing window is ideal.
Temperature: Maintain daytime temperatures between 65–75°F and nighttime temperatures around 55–60°F. This orchid appreciates a slight drop in temperature at night.
Watering: Keep the growing medium evenly moist during active growth periods but allow it to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows.
Humidity: Coelogyne Mooreana thrives in 50-70% humidity. Use a humidity tray or room humidifier if needed, especially in dry indoor environments.
Fertilizing: Feed every two weeks during spring and summer with a balanced orchid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
Potting Medium: Use a well-draining orchid mix, such as fine fir bark combined with perlite or sphagnum moss. Repot every 2-3 years or when the medium breaks down.
Air Circulation: Ensure good air movement around the plant to prevent fungal diseases.
With attentive care, your Coelogyne Mooreana 'Westonbert' will reward you with its stunning blooms and lovely fragrance. If you have any questions or need help, we’re here to assist you at O’Dowds Orchids.
