EPI-CATTLEYA. Orb. Orchidex. Bigeneric hybrids, 
derived from the intercrossing of Epidendrum and 
Cattleya. They require a warm, intermediate house 
temperature, with a liberal supply of atmospheric 
moisture during the greater part of the year. The 
potting compost should consist of two parts fibrous peat 
and one of sphagnum, pressed moderately firm. The 
pots should be clean, and drained to two-thirds their depth 
with clean broken crocks. Through the growing season 
water should be applied freely, but only sufficient is 
required during the resting period to retain a plump -and 
desirable condition of the psendo-bulbs.
