Lycaste key facts
- Growing Difficulty
- Intermediate
- Lifespan
- 10+ years
- Size
- 20-40cm
- Temperature
- 12〜25℃
- Light & Placement
- Place it in bright partial shade. Some varieties dislike hot, humid summers, so choose a cool, well-ventilated spot.
- Watering
- Water generously during the growing season. Reduce water while the plant is leafless and dormant in the dry season from winter to spring.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- The ideal range is 12-25°C. Some varieties suffer in hot, humid summers, so make heat protection a priority.
- Soil & Repotting
- Pot in a mix of bark and sphagnum moss. The pseudobulbs grow large, so choose a pot with room for the roots to spread.
- Fertilizer
- Fertilize during the growing season. Stop feeding once the plant drops its leaves and goes dormant, and resume when new growth starts.
- Dormancy Care
- Most are deciduous, dropping their leaves and going dormant in the dry season from winter to spring. Withhold water then and let the pseudobulbs rest.
