Question Culture Rhynchobrassoleya Copper Queen

I bought a Rhynchobrassoleya Copper Queen 'Exotic Ripper'.

I did some research but found conflicting information about its culture.

It's intermediate to warm growing? Lots of light? Which should be shaded bright light with some late evening, early morning sun?
What about watering year round? Let it dry between waterings, year round?

Any help would be appreciated. I don't want to go wrong with his one.

I looked the ancestry up at Orchidroots.com. It has almost 30% Cattleya dowiana, 25% Brassavola nodosa and 25% Cattleya (Laelia) millerii. Both its parents are considered easy to grow. I would grow it warm. Other than that, Catts. prefer to get dry between waterings when not growing, but are better kept at least somewhat moist when making new growth. Catts. use a lot more water than Phals. Catts. are mostly high light orchids, but high light is in order whenever there is a lot of Brassavola nodosa in the ancestry.

Thank you Estación seca. This is really helpful. I took notes for future reference.
This is my first plant in the Catt. alliance. Another will follow soon.
Curious if I can give it enough ligt (outdoors).

Live and learn
