Hi, Shirley, I think you'll do fine with the Eria javanica. It shouldn't be overly difficult to grow.

As for the "Eria lyonii", I believe you actually own Epigeneium lyonii. If your plant is Epigeneium lyonii, a word of warning is that Epigeneiums are generally very slow growing.

Eria aporoides is one of the "odd men out" in the world of Erias. Whereas species like Eria javanica, Eria carinata, and Eria hyacinthoides have pseudobulbs and a single leaf. Eria aporoides has no pseudobulbs and have leaves that are arranged in a saw blade. Imagine them as vegetatively resembling an overgrown Dendrobium leonis.
