A few other things about Cycs. They are recommended to be re-potted in new medium ever year, but I usually procrastinate and have gone two years most times.

Cycs will normally only flower from one bulb. A pot with more than one flowering is actually growing as if were multiple plants.

It is very common for the third oldest bulb to die if the plant is not separated. When they go dormant they can be divided to single bulbs and grown separately. My loddigessi was divided this year to single bulbs and I have two excellent new growing plants

An interesting aside Cycnoches like loddigessi have distinctively male and female flowers although not necessarily both the same year.
