Default Lycaste ciliata

Another ebay buy, seems like good quality. Anybody has experience with this? Is it evergreen or deciduous?
Will grow in temps 80s to 50 min in winter.

Thanks for any help.

As you can see I potted it in a Sphag/bark mix.

Andrew

Apparently good quality. The plant belongs to the group of Andean Lycastes that are evergreen. Fairly high light levels, moving fresh air, higher humidity and lower temps at night, and regular feeding while in active growth are essential. Repotting is best done in spring. Many growers recommend a sphagnum mix. Guidelines for growing Lycastes and Anguloas can be found here and in the internet, for example from San Diego County orchid society, Carter & Holmes, Henry Oakeley and many more.
