Lycaste Uzhupud Gold

A cross between Lyc. Sunray and Lycaste macrobulbon, this hybrid features broad, rounded sepals framing a richly detailed lip. Its full, triangular flower shape creates a striking display above the pseudobulbs.

• Light: Bright, filtered light near an east-facing window or beneath light shade. Protect tender leaves from strong midday sun.
• Temperature: Intermediate conditions, approximately 60–80°F (16–27°C), with a cooler nighttime period.
• Humidity: Maintain 60–80% humidity with gentle air circulation, especially around developing growths.
• Watering: Water thoroughly during active growth, allowing the airy medium to approach dryness between waterings. Reduce watering when growth slows, adjusting to leaf loss and root activity rather than imposing a prolonged dry rest.

Additional Notes:

Prominent pseudobulbs store moisture and support the plant through changes in growth activity. Use a well-drained orchid mix and allow room for new growths without overpotting. Repot as new roots begin to develop, taking care not to damage emerging shoots or flower buds near the base.
