Stephen,
As a first approximation, culture of Coryanthes
resembles that of Stanhopea. The few species that I
have tried did well in a wire basket lined with sheet
moss and filled with long fiber sphagnum. Coryanthes
seem to send most of their inflorescences out
horizontally, rather than down like a Stanhopea, so
you can have some success with a pot. They grow very
fast when happy and decline very fast when displeased
with their culture.
The different species vary in size from smallish
(about the size of a Paphinia) to largish (about the
size of a big Stanhopea), so just pick the species you
like.
