Coelogyne Flaccida

Coelogyne flaccida, commonly known as the Flaccid Coelogyne Orchid, is an elegant species native to the cooler montane forests of the Himalayas and Southeast Asia. Known for its long, arching flower spikes, this species produces large, showy white flowers that are delicately fringed, often with a hint of yellow or orange at the lip.

The flowers of Coelogyne flaccida have a wonderful fragrance, which is most noticeable in the evening. Blooming typically occurs in spring, creating an attractive display of cascading flowers. The plant’s arching nature makes it well-suited for hanging baskets or mounted displays, where its elegant flowers can fully cascade.

Coelogyne flaccida prefers intermediate to cool temperatures and thrives in bright, indirect light with good air circulation. It also appreciates high humidity and regular watering during the growing season, with a reduced watering schedule in the winter to encourage dormancy and flowering.
