Overall it takes roughly the same culture as a Phal, but I understand that
it can handle more light and less water -- I am not sure though whether more
light is required, or just that it can handle more. Also since it is summer
blooming, it does not require the temperature difference between night and
day in order to spike that most Phals need. I have read that doritis is very
adaptable. Personally I don't have a doritis itself, but just a few Dtps
that are very close to the doritis heritage, and those are doing very well
in just regular Phal conditions, in fact two of them are in spike right now
(my Dtps Kenneth Schubert -- which is a primary hybrid of doritis, and one
of my two Dtps Talitha's Gem).

By the way, do you know about doritis buyssoniana, or doritis pulcherrima
var buyssoniana. If not, you might want to look into it. It's the same as
doritis pulcherrima, only bigger flowers.

Best,
Joanna
