Lycaste lasioglossa dormant period
I recently purchased a fairly large Lycaste lasioglossa in bloom and spike. The last of the blooming spikes is about to open.
I understand that they have a dormant period and I've seen the culture sheet. Mine currently doesn't show any sign of dropping its leaves yet.
So I'm not quite clear on what causes the dormancy.
I'm growing it in my kitchen window which has a goodly amount of light and the largest temp swings that I can manage in the house around 70 or 72 during the day and low 60s at night.
Do I need to give it less light?
Should I just start tapering down the water and then with hold after the last flower is done?
