 life ; referring to the way these air-plants fasten on trees 

 for support. Nat. ord. Orchids [Orchidaceae], Linn.

Stove orchids. Dividing the plant when in a dormant

 peat, a few broken potsherds, and fastening the plant 

 above the surface of the pot ; cutting pieces of peeled 

 oak as long as the diameter of the pot inside at the rim ; 

 fixing the plant to this wood ; and, after placing it in 

 the pot, banking up around it with the suitable compost 

 prevents all danger from damp, owing to the plant 

 sinking. Temp., 60 to 90 when growing, with moisture 

 in the air ; and when at rest, 55 to 60, and drier.
