I recently purchsed a Lysudamuloa Red Jewel 'Sweet Baby'. The basic cultural guidelines suggest typical Lycaste/Anguloa culture (intermediate temp and medium light).
When I look up the cultural requirements for a Lycaste the information is completely opposite.
So how do I grow this? Right now its under grow lights but the leaves are yellowing so I am thinking its too close to the lights.
Thank you

Looked this up in Orchidwiz, which gives an estimate of culture based on the percentages of the various species... approximate, but gives a good idea. (This is a really complex hybrid) Overall, temperature range is cool to intermediate. Light recommendation is "dappled" light, but shade to bright indirect light should work too. So a pretty broad range of conditions. So probably you do want to give it a bit less light than it has been getting. What about the medium? I would suspect that it wants to be on the damp side.

You can look up ancestry on bluenanta.com, then go to IOSPE to look up the individual species. Sudamerlycaste and Lycaste are closely related, so you may need to look in both genera. Many of the yellow and white Lycaste are deciduous and need a completely dry winter, but other species don't.

There's Anguloa in this one as well, but not much. A lot of generations to get back to the species. The major species are Lyc. virginalis 45%, Lyc lasioglossa 19%, Lyc. cruenta 17%, then the rest is a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and all got into the brew with lots of mixing and matching.

So I need to repot this right away as its completely pot bound. I'll repot in either a Phal. mix or a cymbidium mix- both from Repot me. I really like their products. So essentially a mix of bark, sponge rock, tree fern, and spagh. moss.
I think its going to want wet conditions, especially during the growing season
