Like a lot of orchids, I start with one of the genus (a reportedly easy one), see if I can grow it properly before trying others of the same genus. I have one B. lobbii 'Kathy's Gold' that seems to be growing well, nice leaves and roots etc., but it has not bloomed for me yet. It is in a plastic net pot with a mix of sphagnum, bark, CHC, which I try not to let dry out completely. Gets the same light as my Phalaenopsis. I am trying to go light on fertilizer with all of my plants, so this gets about 1/8 of the package-recommended strength of any orchid fertilizer I provide (which varies throughout the year), about 1 or 2 times a month.
