 and ZWitf, will mil ihis S&omburgkia admirably, Tor although all these plants will grow upon blocks 

 of wood suspended in the air, most of (hem succeed far belter when planted in poto, in a proper compost 



Schomburgkia undtthita begins to grow after blooming, and at thai time a little extra heat and 

 moisture arc necessary to induce a robust and vigorous development. When this is completed, water 

 should be almost entirely withheld, and the plant should he placed rh*sc to the glass, in order to ensure the 

 thorough ripening of the pscudobulbs, as upon this* ripening process being perfected depend*, in u great 

 measure, the display of flowers in winter. 



Propagation is effected by division of the pscudobulta, care being taken to secure a young growth or 

 leading shoot to each piece. If this id not attended to, a considerable time may elapse before the new plant 

 will make a start, preparatory to gladdening the eyes of it* possessor with its beautiful flowers.
