Coelogyne fimbriata typically has an arching or cascading growth habit rather than growing directly up a wall. The plant produces pseudobulbs with long, arching or cascading leaves, creating an elegant and graceful appearance. 
In its natural habitat, this orchid is found growing on trees or rocks, utilizing them as support structures.
When cultivated in a terrarium or other indoor setting, Coelogyne fimbriata often displays a similar arching growth pattern, with the leaves cascading downwards. 
While it doesn't naturally climb or adhere to vertical surfaces like some vine plants, you can still utilize creative terrarium design or support structures to showcase its unique growth habit. If you wish to encourage a more upright appearance, you can provide gentle support using small stakes or ties, but it's essential to avoid putting excessive pressure on the plant. 
Coelogyne fimbriata's natural beauty lies in its cascading foliage, so many growers appreciate its elegant and flowing appearance as it naturally hangs or arches.

Coelogyne fimbriata Care Sheet for Terrariums
Introduction: Coelogyne fimbriata, commonly known as the Fringed Coelogyne, is an orchid species with beautiful, fringed flowers. While orchids can be a bit challenging, providing the right conditions in a terrarium can create an ideal environment for Coelogyne fimbriata to thrive. Follow these care guidelines to ensure the health and blooming of your Coelogyne fimbriata in a terrarium:
1. Terrarium Setup:
Use a well-draining orchid mix, such as a combination of bark, sphagnum moss, and perlite. Ensure good aeration for the roots.
Choose a terrarium with good ventilation to prevent stagnant air. Orchids typically appreciate higher humidity levels.
2. Light:
Provide filtered, indirect light. Coelogyne fimbriata prefers moderate to bright, but not direct sunlight.
Adjust the light levels based on the appearance of the leaves. If they appear dark green, the light may be too low; if they turn yellowish, it may be too intense.
3. Temperature and Humidity:
Maintain daytime temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) and nighttime temperatures between 55-65°F (13-18°C).
Keep humidity levels around 50-70%. This can be achieved by misting regularly or placing a tray with water and pebbles in the terrarium.
4. Watering:
Keep the orchid mix consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of the substrate feels slightly dry.
Water early in the day to allow excess moisture to evaporate before cooler evening temperatures.
5. Fertilization:
Feed your Coelogyne fimbriata with a balanced orchid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
Reduce or eliminate fertilizer during the plant's dormant period in the fall and winter.
6. Pruning and Maintenance:
Remove spent flowers and yellowing leaves using sterilized scissors or pruning shears.
Inspect the orchid regularly for signs of pests or diseases, addressing any issues promptly.
7. Air Circulation:
Ensure good air circulation within the terrarium to prevent fungal issues. Adequate ventilation is crucial for orchids.
8. Monitoring for Pests:
Regularly check for pests such as spider mites or scale insects. If detected, treat promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
9. Repotting:
Repot Coelogyne fimbriata every 2-3 years or when you notice the potting mix breaking down. Use fresh orchid mix and inspect the roots for any signs of rot.
By following these care guidelines, you can create an optimal environment for your Coelogyne fimbriata orchid in a terrarium. Orchids, including Coelogyne fimbriata, may have specific care preferences, so observe your plant closely and adjust care as needed.
