Cycnodes Wine Delight is a fascinating plant, I find it easy to grow,
since it is a Cycnoches lehmannii by Mormodes sinuata, you treat it
the same way as both species. Give it good light light, lots of water
and fertilizer while it is developing its growth, reduce both once the
growth is mature. Watch and wait for the flowers to develop. The only
problem, I have with them is slugs and snails love the inflorescence
and I treat the pot a couple of times a year with slug bait. Once the
flowers have dropped and the leaves start to die, I stop watering and
only mist it occasionally. I resume watering and fertilizing when I
see the new roots have started to develop in the spring. I fertilize
continually in the summer with a very low level I adjust my system to
give me about 10ppm Nitrate Nitrogen to the plants using a balanced
fertilizer. I use a commercial test kit to monitor the Nitrate
Nitrogen when I change fertilizers. I rotate between three different
fertilizers, just because I want to make sure I am giving the plants
everything they need.
