I don't know anything about this one. Found this IOSPE PHOTOS Cool to warm growing; lowish light.

Also this Lacaena spectabilis - Orchids Wiki

Plants are usually grown in wooden baskets in partial shade. Use a well drain potting media such as medium fir bark with perlite, tree fern fibers, or sphagnum moss. Keep area humid and grow in intermediate to warm temperatures. Keep mix moist. Plant requires a short dry rest in the winter.

Hopefully some others will have more info for you. Good luck!

Thank you Whiterabbit, really there isn't sufficient information about this specie. I hope my Lacaena be in bloom next year. Now, it has a new bulbe. I will cultivate it like Stanhopea or Acineta.

Let us know how it goes, please

Unfortunately, it is too rare of a plant in cultivation here in the US for most people in this country to give you a detailed account of how to grow it.

However, growing them much like Acineta is a good start.
