Default can phaiocalanthe grow in s/h

I just picked up a deal on a Phaiocalanthe Kryptonite 'Ursula' , I can't find a lot of info about this orchid, this is what I know, it is a bog plant, a cross between Calanthe and Phaius. which I found out is a Oncidium clone, it likes to be wet all the time, can this plant be grown s/h?

The answer is "yes".

What's an oncidium clone? Neither phaius nor calanthe is even in the same family as oncidium.

Thank you for your input, the term Oncidium Clone was used in the discription on one of the web sites I found when I Googled Phaiocalanthe, I did not understand what they meant but I now know there is no such thing.

I have a Kryptonite doing just fine in S/H. It has been in Prime Agra for about 6 months and appears to be happy. Will know more at blooming time in late winter, early spring..Mojo
