Hybrid culture 101

Greetings, After tripling my orchid collection this past week I have been researching the growing conditions for each, however I am having a difficult time finding the specifics for a couple of hybrids, specifically "SLC Little Fairy 'Flower Bell'" and "LC Exotic Smile Spring Sensation". Is there a site that anyone knows of that may be of help with the care of these plants, specific hybrids in general? I understand what SLC/LC means but it appears each variety has different growing conditions within the hybrid. Could be wrong????
Thanks!!

I've found this site to be useful- http://www.orchids.mu/index.html

The "glossary" section runs down what all the abbreviations are (Lc=Laeliocattleya, etc.). The "species" section is all care sheets. Most hybrids have requirements that are intermediate between both of their parents. Hope this helps.
