Cycnoches (Richard Brandon X cooperi)
Cycnoches (Richard Brandon X cooperi)
Very fragrant 3-3.5" flowers may bloom later this year. The plants would like temperatures between about 65 and 85+ degrees night to day with bright indirect light. Good humidity will help along with frequent misting, and both will help discourage spider mites, the primary pest of Cycnoches. Water and fertilize regularly using a liquid or water soluble fertilizer once a month. Toward the end of the season, leaves will begin to yellow and fall. This is normal as the plants prepare for a "rest' during which water should be lessened considerably and fertilizer eliminated until new growth begins in late Winter-Spring at which time both should be resumed.
LIMITED!! NEAR BLOOMING SIZE, BUT NOT CURRENTLY IN SPIKE!!
