Care of Coelogyne Speciosa
Coelogyne Speciosa is a stunning orchid known for its fragrant, delicate flowers and graceful appearance. To ensure healthy growth and abundant blooms, follow these care guidelines:
Light:
Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. A spot near an east or west-facing window works well.
Temperature:
Maintain intermediate temperatures—ideally between 60°F to 75°F (15°C to 24°C). Night temperatures around 55°F (13°C) can encourage blooming.
Humidity:
This orchid thrives in 50-70% humidity. Increase humidity with a tray of water and pebbles or use a humidifier if your home is dry.
Watering:
Water thoroughly when the top inch of the potting medium feels dry. Reduce watering during its resting phase after flowering. Avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot.
Potting Medium:
Use a well-draining mix such as fine bark or sphagnum moss blended with perlite to ensure good aeration around the roots.
Fertilizing:
Feed every two weeks during the growing season with a balanced orchid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Cut back feeding during dormancy.
Air Circulation:
Good air movement is important to prevent fungal problems and keep the plant healthy. Use a fan if necessary.
Repotting:
Repot every 2-3 years or when the potting media breaks down, ideally just after flowering finishes.
With attentive care, your Coelogyne Speciosa will reward you with elegant, fragrant blooms season after season.
