Cycnodes Wine Delight 'J.E.M.' FCC/AOS Varigated 
(Cyc. lehmannii x Morm. sinuata) Wonderful waxy, red flowers that have a strong and spicy sweet fragrance like cherries, with variegated leaves. Grow in medium to bright light keeping the potting mix moist during spring and summer months. After flowering (sometimes while flowering) the plant will go semi-dormant and drop the foliage of the mature cane. One the leaves shed, stop all fertilizer and reduce water to 1/2 until new growth emerges. Resume regular watering schedule with fertilizer one the new growth emerges a few inches.

Cycnodes (Cycnoches x Mormodes) 
Cycnodes is another artificial genus produced by breeding Cycnoches but this time with Mormodes. This group of orchids is again an interesting breeding combination producing multiple flowers, vigorous growth and the possibility of flowering two to three times a year. Typically, their now trigger-less flowers have a flower life that is longer than for pure Catasetums.

Cycnodes are heavy feeders during their growing period but a dry rest period of differing lengths according to species is needed after flowering, specifically, once the plants start to drop leaves. Water is gradually reduced, then withheld. If at all, water sparingly only to prevent pseudobulbs from shrinking too much. Once new growth reaches 4 inches and new roots reach 2 or more inches long, watering is begun, with normal abundant watering taking place once the potting mix again approaches dryness. Fertilize well during the active growing season as the plant does not get a chance to be fertilized during its dry rest period. Repot just as new growth is beginning at the end of the dry rest.
NOTE: This type of Catasetum drops its leaves in the Winter but can bloom on the bare bulb. After a dry winter, new growths will emerge from the base of the plant and produce keikies along the bulb. Start watering and fertilize it again when new growth is about 4–5 inches (Spring-Fall).
