I treat them exactly like catasetum but with a little less fertilizer :) I only grow the deciduous types though. I love my aromatica, smells exactly like "Big Red" chewing gum. Not as floriferous as these hybrids though.

Tough for me to grow them down here but I just saw Carter & Holmes have a warmth tolerant one advertised that's really pretty. Little Kitty.

That's a great cross, I'm going to pick one up at that price

Lyc Brevispatha x braedeorum is blooming now. 47 Flowers and buds. Each flower is lightly fragrant but all 47 at once is pretty powerful.
