Cychnoches (abbreviated Cyc.) William Clarke was created and registered by Fred Clarke in 2004. It is a wonderful compact grower due to the influence of Cyc. herrenhusanum. It may have a fragrance as Cyc. cooperi is quite fragrant. It flowers in the fall, however, it’s not uncommon to see more spikes emerge from its older pseudobulbs again in the spring. A fully mature plant can literally be covered with flowers, totally obscuring the pseudobulbs. Cycnoches will go deciduous – leaves will turn yellow and then drop in late summer or early fall at the onset of spiking and flowering. After flowering it enters dormancy. During this time water sparingly, enough to maintain plump pseudobulbs, but do not drench. Once the new growth is a couple inches tall in the spring, resume normal watering for best growth and flowering. Grow them in high light (Cattleya level) and warm temperature. They grow well alongside Cattleya, Dendrobium, and Oncidium. During active growth give lots of water and fertilizer, and Mega Thrive application. Very Highly Recommended!
