Coelogyne carinata is an epiphytic plant species from the orchid family. This plant produces slender and smooth pseudobulbs that could grow up to a maximum length of 7 cm. From every pseudobulb, two lanceolate to egg-shaped leaves arise. This orchid flowers mostly from autumn to the end of winter, together with the growth of a new pseudobulb. The plant creates a relatively short, pendant flower stalk, reaching a maximum length of around 12 cm, carrying up to 8 flowers. The flowers open simultaneously, always two at the time. They have a light green to white color, with a golden to orange colored core, including main parts of the labellum. The outer side of the labellum is white. Propagating this orchid is mainly done by separating older plants. Make sure every division contains at least three pseudobulbs.

Coelogyne carinata grows naturally on mossy rocks and tree branches in mountainous areas. It occurs between 100- and 2300-meter altitude and should be grown in cool to warm conditions. Pot this plant in an airy mix for epiphytes or orchids. From spring to summer, this species should be kept wet and in bright light conditions. Allow for excellent ventilation. It is possible to keep this species outside in these seasons. In the growing season, fertilize this orchid once every two weeks with special orchid fertilizer, according to recommended dosage. When this orchid is at rest, this species should be kept in a cool, bright space. Only water the plant a bit when completely dried out. It is also possible to just mist occasionally. During the rest period, fertilizer should be avoided.
