about its roots the pot should be well drained, and the soil 
considerably elevated above its brim. In summer, while the 
plant is growing, plenty of water should be given to its roots, 
and it must be syringed over head once or twice a day. 
Like many other Orchids this requires a humid atmosphere, 
and a shade in sunny weather. During the season of growth 
the temperature should be kept about 80° by day, and about 
70° at night. In winter, the season of rest, very little water 
will be required for a few weeks, nor is it necessary to raise 
- the temperature above 66°, with fire heat.
