pleted its growth; when arrived at maturity 

 it will scarcely require any w^ater, but in a 

 growing state it likes a moist atmosphere, almost 

 to saturation. 



The other species will grow well under pot 

 cultivation, provided there be a good drainage 

 underneath, which I particularly recommend for 

 all plants ; the same compost will do for these as 

 for Cattleyas, but the treatment should differ in 

 regard to temperature, as I have found these to 

 grow better in a higher one ; the temperature I 

 would recommend is that necessary for the Indian 

 species.
