HARDY TERRESTRIAL ORCHIDS 



THE compost usually recommended for Terrestrial Orchids is a 

 mixture of sandy loam, peat, and chopped sphagnum moss with a 

 little charcoal in small lumps. Leaf-mould is now largely used by 

 Orchid growers as a substitute for peat. The bog-species like 

 plenty of moisture. Most of the plants here named will do well 

 with cold-frame culture and brought into a greenhouse to flower.
