Sold out Lycaste unnamed hybrid #91826 (Lycaste virginalis/skinneri '6670' x angelae 'B.E.N.') (approximately 25 seedlings per flask). These seedlings have been treated to alter the chromosome count. This does not guarantee that they will be 4N. For more information go to Ploidy. The Hybrid: This Lycaste virginalis/skinneri is one of the best from an outcross I did some years ago. It is crossed with a wonderful clone of a charming species: Lycaste angelae 'B.E.N.' from Costa Rica. It is a close relative of Lycaste brevispatha. Culture: I grow Lycaste virginalis/skinneri in intermediate conditions and year round water. Lycaste angelae is a deciduous species that I grow cool with ample water and fertilizer during the growing season. When the leaves start to yellow in the fall, I cut back on water and fertilizer until blooming in the spring and then the start watering process as the new growths start to open up. I would expect the hybrid could benefit from a lessening of water during the winter, but shouldn't need a really significant dry rest. Capsule Parent: Lycaste virginalis/skinneri '6670' Pollen Parent: Lycaste angelae 'B.E.N.' |
