Kevin,
here is a copy of a reply from Alan Meerow to the same question asked by J.
Shields in 1999 on another forum.

Regards Sheila

I had the most sucess with Pamianthe growing them as epiphytes (which they
are

in nature), in clay pots. The bulb should sit on the surface of the medium.
I
used a mix of seedling grade tree fern, seedling grade fir bark, perlite,
and
experimented with various amounts of peat. Finely ditched the peat
altogether.

I recommend that once established with several leaves, a decent-sized
seedling
bulb, and the conspicuous pseudostem that this species produces, that you
move
them into the above mix (2 parts fern, two parts bark, 1 part perlite).
