I'm by no means a Coelogyne expert, but if you’re growing some of the cool-intermediate Cymbidiums then I think they’ll do just fine with that type of care.
I probably wouldn’t grow them outside if it gets really hot and dry in the summer.

Lovely, by the way.

Thanks! This Coelogyne cristata has 3 pseudobulbs and they do grow a bit far apart. I have an alba variety as well and it’s pseudobulbs grow even further apart!
I live in the city so growing space is very limited for me and I try to only grow small to medium sized plants. Overall, I don’t think it’s a very big plant.

I do water this plant a bit less during the winter, but mainly because it does get quite cold and I don’t really want to risk it getting any rot.
I also don’t completely restrict watering because I don’t want the pseudobulbs to shrivel too much!

I hope that was helpful!
