These plants should be grown on blocks, or in pots, 

 with a little moss, in the East Indian house. They need 

 much heat and moisture in the growing season. All the 

 species are very curious, and as they are small-growing 

 and occupy but little room, a few should find place in 

 every collection. All are rather scarce plants.
