Coelogyne speciosa
Native to rainforests of Malaysia, Borneo, Java and Sumatra….. grows in intermediate to warm temperatures with partial shade; on the east facing window of my kitchen. I water regularly all year with no winter rest. It is potted in a 4” plastic pot on top of a humidity tray that I provided with a mix of fine fir bark, tree fern fibers, perlite, charcoal, lava rock and clay pellets. I give it fertilizer weekly weakly with Algoflash alternating with seaweed and worm tea mix.
This underwent mite and fungi infestation that I was lucky it gave me a single bloom....I was expecting a spike with a cluster of 10 to 12 buds....oh well....maybe next season
