Abstract: We show that, for any $ngeq2$, there exists a homogeneous space of dimension $d=8n-4$ with metrics of $mathrm{Ric}_{fracd2-5}>0$ if $neq3$ and $mathrm{Ric}_6>0$ if $n=3$ which evolve under the Ricci flow to metrics whose Ricci tensor is not $(d-4)$-positive. Consequently, Ricci flow does not preserve a range of curvature conditions that interpolate between positive sectional and positive scalar curvature. This extends a theorem of B"ohm and Wilking in the case of $n=2$.
