Pescatoreas grow very similarly to Huntleyas. Although I've heard that they're easier to grow, I haven't seen any difference in their fussiness as of now. My lehmannii is doing well but my dayana is slowly growing and doesn't look too good. The main difference on how I grow these is that the Huntleya is in a basket with moss while the Pescatoreas are in bark in pots right underneath it, which means lower light. I've heard in brighter light they will flower more often. Andy said that he saw a P. lehmannii once with flowers encompassing the entire base of the plant growing in a little bit less than cattleya light.
Do you have any pictures of H. pallida and/or its flowers? I'm very curious since i can't find that species anywhere on the internet.
