Coelogyne rochussenii

Introducing the exquisite Coelogyne rochussenii, a botanical marvel that brings a touch of tropical splendor to any indoor garden. With its striking green, pleated leaves arranged in pairs on each pseudobulb, this orchid species captivates with its elegant appearance. The narrowly conical and ribbed pseudobulbs serve as the perfect foundation for the breathtaking display of flowers that adorn this plant.

Native to the lush regions of Malaysia, Borneo, Java, Sumatra, and the Philippines, Coelogyne rochussenii boasts long pendulous spikes carrying an impressive array of 35 to 50 green to yellow flowers. Each delicate bloom features yellow sepals and petals, complemented by a white lip adorned with enchanting brown and yellow markings. The flowers emit a wonderfully sweet fragrance, reminiscent of lemon candy, filling the air with their alluring scent.

Cultivating Coelogyne rochussenii is a rewarding experience, provided with the right care. During active growth periods, ensure ample watering, allowing the soil to remain consistently moist. As autumn approaches and new growths mature, gradually reduce watering, transitioning to occasional light waterings or morning mistings during the winter months.

This resilient species thrives in low to medium light conditions, making it an ideal choice for indoor environments. While it can withstand brief drought periods, Coelogyne rochussenii truly flourishes with regular water and fertilizer during the summer months. With a temperature range of 45°F to 90°F, this orchid adapts well to varying climates, rewarding enthusiasts with its rapid growth, often doubling or tripling in size per growing period.
