There is Almost nothing sweeter than a nice Lycaste.

Magnificent flowers! They almost look edible. What is your care routine?

Indeed a beauty for form and color. Deserved the AM.

Angela,
Actually nothing too special. This hybrid is pretty tolerant where as some of the species are a little less so. Decideous vs non-decideous is the main determinant for issues like dry rest or not.
I don’t heat my GH space so low temps sometimes down to 45 F. Good air movement is a good idea for the non-decidious (evergreen) types.
here is a link to the AOS culture sheet which I must admit I had not read until this morning. Lycaste are so beautiful, and sometimes wonderfully fragrant that they are absolutely worth the effort and space.

Nice one indeed! I am a fan of Lycaste and I used to grow a couple of them...

Thank you for the link tomp. My gh conditions are good for Lycaste hybrids. Now to survey the greenhouse
for the right space; not an easy thing to do since my Phrags. are sprawlers. :>)
