Coelogyne flaccida is a species of orchid that is native to southeast Asia and northeastern South Asia. Cultivated as an ornamental plant, it is also known as the bearded coelogyne and the loose coelogyne.
They are best grown in pots as hanging plants and require a shady location, fearing full sunlight and cold temperatures. In the growing season they need to be watered. These plants should be grown in medium consistency and well drained soil, such as fir bark.
It occurs in the Himalayas, Nepal, North India, Bhutan, China (Yunnan to Western Guangxi) and Myanmar. It grows epiphytic on trees or lithophyte on rocks in lower montane forests at an altitude of 1000 to 1800 meters above sea level.
