Lycastes shed their leaves in the fall and go into hibernation. In early spring, they first produce their flowers before new bulbs with foliage grow.

Care tips:

Location:
Protect from strong sunlight and heat in summer, avoid dry air. Staying in the shade of trees in a garden, in a sheltered spot, is good for them. As bright as possible in winter.

Temperature:
In summer indoors 18 – 30°C during the day, dropping to 10°C at night. In winter consistently about 15 - 18°C.

Pour:
Water plentifully during growth, but do not waterlog. Never let it dry out completely, even during the winter rest period.

Fertilize:
During the growth phase from March to October every 14 days with orchid fertilizer
Do not fertilize in the dark period (November - February).
