It's not difficult, it just requires patience. I grew a cattleya from about 7 pseudobulbs up to about 45 pseudobulbs in only about 5 years. It was a vigorous plant and quickly branched. If you can grow one good healthy growth on your cattleyatonia, you can get your plant up to a good specimen size. It'll just take a few years.
Enjoy!
