OrchidWiz is probably the best software out there for looking up the background of the plants. The "Cultivate" button gives you the conditions that each of the species that make up a hybrid does well in, but isn't overly specific. Here's an example:
The light level recommendation is good, as the species involved are all pretty similar in that regard, but the temperatures?

Psnth. Heaven's Bank is composed of species of which 100% take cool temperatures, 100% take intermediate temperatures and 75% take hot temperatures. Grow this hybrid in cool to hot conditions, or 58°F to 85°F at night.

What the hell does that mean?
None of those species grow in cool and hot conditions. Some particular plants are from cooler regions and others are from warmer regions. Swap a couple and they would both suffer.
That is not a criticism of OrchidWiz - Alex has cataloged the existing data - it's just a warning to be sure and understand how to interpret the data.
I also have to laugh about the medium recommendation. I know for a fact that the most common ways of growing this hybrid is in S/H culture or in sphagnum (it's my hybrid and I own 98% of the plants ever produced).
