mine is a Psychopsis
i am not sure how you can be so sure, maybe the lack of pattern on the leaves misleads you to thinking mine is paph (and that's the reason why i picked this one up, as i thought this one might be special). anyway, i agree that Psychopsis needs fast draining material, the current mix i use seems to have achieved this. i have to water it twice a week, in particular it is growing new shoot, while not running the risk to rot the new growth due to retained moisture. and well, above all, choose the one way you feel comfortable. and Merry Christmas
