To be cultivated successfully, it should be suspended 
from the rafters of the Orchidaceous house upon a block of 
wood. The block should be surrounded with a little turfy 
peat or sphagnum, to retain the moisture upon which the 
roots feed. If sphagnum is used, care must be taken that 
it does not come in contact with the more tender part of the — 
plant, as it is apt to rot them. In this condition it should 
be freely syringed during the growing season, and never at 
any time be kept too dry.
