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.
