Just received a Lycaste candida f. rubra in bloom from Marlow Orchids!!!!
Is anyone familiar with this orchid and its needs?
Some 3 months ago I received from Marlow a Lyc. Dainty(cambellii x candida) not in bloom or spike but semi-deciduous. My first endeavor of the genus and all I could do was read about it. Saw the fellow at a show last wkend and asked what to do. Said to keep it somewhat drier and under my growlights was good. Still has 2 leaves on it. Pbulbs should not shrivel too much. I would email them for more help as I don't think I was much assistance to you.
I don't grow Lycastes yet, but I recall from reading they have definite wet / dry seasons and many are deciduous. I agree with DeaC, you need to contact the vendor Monday.
