No plants are easier managed than Dendrobiums, and this 

 one is as tractable as any of them. A high moist temperature 

 is required during their period of growth, and when this is 

 past, and the shoots formed, the house may be kept more cool 

 and dry. In resting the plants, however, it is a bad plan to 

 go to extremes, and hence we frequently find persons injuring 

 them by putting in practice certain notions which they have 

 formed upon this subject. This species should be grown in a 

 pot, and the soil should consist of open turfy peat. The stems 

 and leaves should be frequently well syringed.
