Default Psychopsis papilo

Hybrids made with papilio, such as Butterfly and Kalihi, grow very well for
us, but we've found that the straight species has a little trouble
tolerating our extreme heat.

The hybrids do very well for us in the brightest section of our cattleya
zone, in either slat baskets or treefern pots for maximum drainage [as
compared to the plastic pots that most of our catts live in]. Our potting
mix for them is about 50% lava rock, 25% charcoal, 25% coco-chips. I think
that if we mounted them, we could probably put them in the vanda zone.

Good growing,

I have bought a psychopsis papilio with 4 pseudobulbs. Can you give
me advice to cultivate and make to bloom?

Thanks
