Question Propagation of Phaius Tankervillae/Nun's Orchid

It is my understanding that the Nun's Orchid can be propagated from stem cuttings. What I am looking for is some specific information/a procedure or method. I know that the cuttings are suppose to be put on damp spagnum moss or sand but I have no details. Do you use Rootone or some other rooting hormone? Is the spagnum slightly damp or soaking wet? What is the intensity of the light required? Can the orchid be propagated under grow lights etc. I would appreciate some inputs from the more experienced members. Thanks
