Description

Coelogyne nitida, also known as Coelogyne ochracea, is an outstanding addition to any terrarium, captivating with a combination of botanical beauty and practical adaptability. Originally from the humid and cool regions of Asia, this orchid brings a piece of exotic nature into your home or greenhouse.

The plant is characterised by its robust, egg-shaped to elongated pseudobulbs, which play an important role in its ability to store water and nutrients. This makes Coelogyne nitida a comparatively low-maintenance orchid that can withstand even short periods of drought. Its bright green, smooth leaves give it a lush and vibrant appearance all year round, while the arching or hanging inflorescence with its fragrant, white-yellow flowers, accentuated by reddish or brownish markings, puts on a spectacular show every spring.
In addition to its visual appeal, Coelogyne nitida is also known for its pleasant fragrance, which adds a fresh, natural note to any terrarium or greenhouse. Its adaptability to different environments and comparative ease of care make it an ideal choice for orchid enthusiasts - from beginners to experienced collectors. The orchid prefers bright, indirect light and high humidity, conditions that can easily be mimicked in a terrarium, contributing to a healthy and dynamic ecosystem.

With its long-lasting flowering period and elegant foliage, the Coelogyne nitida offers an impressive visual presence not only during the flowering phase, but all year round. This orchid is therefore not only an asset to the aesthetics of any room, but also a source of natural beauty and tranquillity.
