How big are your minis? I find that cattleyas in 4" pots often do ok if they are potted in fine grade fir bark ang watered 3x/week. In smaller pots, sphagnum moss works well. They are put outside on a porch that is shaded until late in the afternoon. Last year, they withstood temps of up to 109 degrees.
