Coelogyne viscosa
syn: Coelogyne graminiflora
Description
Coelogyne viscosa is a stunning orchid native to the Himalayan region and Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its pseudobulbs, which are often somewhat flattened and ribbed, bearing a pair of leaves at the apex. The flowers are fragrant and appear in pendulous racemes, with each flower displaying a creamy white color with a yellow or orange lip. The lip is often marked with intricate patterns, adding to its charm. This orchid thrives in cool to intermediate temperatures and requires bright, indirect light. For cultivation, use a well-draining orchid mix, provide regular watering, and ensure good air circulation. Regular fertilization during the growing season helps to promote healthy growth and abundant flowering.
