This plant is a flowering size and is growing in a pot. Grow Coelogyne ecarinata in a pot with
fine bark mixed with moss or in sphagnum moss. Grow plants in moderate shade, and never in direct or bright sunlight. Plants do not like to dry out and need excellent quality water all year. Plants grow well in an intermediate to cool greenhouse and appreciate night-time

well indoors and will flower if given a big enough difference between day and night
temperature.
