All my Lycastes have been very easy to grow alongside my slippers.
I got 13 plants from Lehua (half box minus 2 paphs) in November, 2015. I then potted them in kkorchid's paph mix (because that's what I had on hand), and stuck them under my 4-bulb T8 setup. The leaves on the taller plants grew into the lights, but they didn't care (the parts that actually touched the bulbs bleached, but it didn't seem to affect them at all). I water them every 4 days. I haven't lost any and all show good root growth through the clear pots.
So far 9 have bloomed. The other 4 have all grown new bulbs larger than the old bulbs, so I am assuming that they're on their way to blooming.
Lehua's a good choice to get cheap Lycastes, but they have a 15 plant minimum order.
