Caring for your Coelogyne (rochussenii mooreana)
Light: Place your Coelogyne in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
Watering: Water your Coelogyne once a week, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Be cautious not to overwater.
Temperature: Keep your Coelogyne in a warm location with temperatures between 65-80°F during the day and a slightly cooler temperature at night.
Humidity: Maintain a humidity level of 50-70% around your Coelogyne. You can achieve this by using a humidifier or placing a tray of water near the plant.
Fertilizing: Feed your Coelogyne with a balanced orchid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.
Repotting: Repot your Coelogyne every 2-3 years using a well-draining orchid mix. Look for signs such as overcrowded roots or lack of growth to indicate it's time for repotting.
Pests: Keep an eye out for common orchid pests like mealybugs or spider mites. If detected, treat them promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
By following these care tips, you can help your Coelogyne (rochussenii mooreana) thrive and grace your space with its beautiful blooms.
