I was told by an orchid vendor here in Ohio that these like a fast draining medium and frequent watering. That might just be because of...Ohio. Other methods might work better in other climates. I grow my new seedling Psychopsis (bought this past March) in red lava rock with some egg shells added. For the pot, I use a four-inch plastic basket pot. I water frequently. It has added two new growths since March along with new roots. I bought a very young plant so it will be about five-seven years until it is blooming size.
