Its nice to hear from you once again.
I think it blooms only with a new bulb. Since I have 6 old bulbs it should give me 6 new plants that will give me flowers...its strange ....oh well....

I guess mine is a "generous" speciosa....I'm used to 2-3 flowers per new growth. Must vary from plant to plant, interesting.

It's a beautiful flower.


BTW -- You'll get better growth and flowering if you move it to higher light. This particular Coel does best in catt light...between 2000-3000 fcs.

Thank You !

You can get this in any orchid seller in your area. This is not a hard orchid plant to find.

I also use worm tea mix liquid form I get online. I use Mexicrop seaweed mix liquid form which I also get online. I would like to know what is the brand of fish/kelp fertilizer mix you use and is it in liquid form or crystal?

This formed a bigger sized flower on an old leafless bulb= notice a more vivid color and beautiful form than the earlier ones. I see another pointy bud forming on the spike and I guess I am going to have two flowers this time.

Congratulations! I've been thinking it's finally time for me to get a coelogyne, I've been wanting one only for forever. You really do well with your orchids!

Thank You for the visit and kind words.

This orchid is a no fuss plant. I just leave it on the windowsill, weekly weakly fertilizer and water but in the summer months it gets watered every other day or when the mix gets dry....I make sure the bulbs are plump and never shrivel.... the leaves are thin and sensitive that even if I don't wet it=still gets fungi and fall off. That is one of the major thing I need to discover=how to maintain clean healthy leaves.
