Is there a problem with one of the component species of the hybrid mix? Perhaps, your conditions present a problem for some portion of Lyc. Takagamine's background? I'm beginning to think that Lyc macrophylla is a species that I should avoid. In addition, Takagamine has skinneri, cruenta and lasioglossa.

I'm a Lycaste enthusiast. Will you please share the source of your hybrid?

I will be looking to this thread to hopefully learn more.

I originally saved this plant from the dumpster. The local garden center had it on the shelf with no leaves and to look at it, one would think, "Why don't they toss that dead plant!" I took a chance on this $99.00 (price marked on plant) plant that I got for $1.00. To my suprise and joy it took root and grew more pseudobulbs and flowered for me (link above). The plant originally came from a grower in Canada, Zephyrus Orchids I don't know if they have any more.
