Coelogyne imbricata (Syn. Pholidota imbricata)
cancel Sold out
Coelogyne imbricata, formerly known as Pholidota imbricata, is a distinctive species from Southeast Asia prized for its elegant pendant flower spikes. Mature plants produce long chains of closely packed cream to white flowers that emerge from beneath the pseudobulbs, creating a unique cascading display.
This species is easy to grow under intermediate conditions and develops into an impressive specimen over time, making it an excellent choice for collectors looking for something a little different from the more commonly grown orchid genera.
