Growers in the Northeast grew Lycaste in plastic pots. Why? Because they love water.
Media was either a fine seedling bark mix or long fibered sphagnum moss. Plants were potted in fairly small pots. The hybrids using microbulbon and cruenta as parents are smaller growing, deciduous types and were often grown in shallow clay pots.
The large flowered hybrids from skinneri, things like Lycaste Shoalhaven or Lycaste Auburn were mostly in plastic pots.
