Can anyone point me toward some reading on how to mericlone cattleyas?

[orchidlover69]

Just as the title says, I wonder if there is some light reading hanging out there about methods and procedures for mericlone propagation of cattleyas. If someone knows where to find some info on how to do it, please pass along the link or your personal know how.
Thanks!

By mericloning, I mean taking the buds that form and dividing them to create a large number of mericlones in a series of flasks. Though, the old divide and conquer method is a pretty good advantage that psuedobulb type orchids have over say phals.
