This species is by no means difficult to cultivate; it should be treated 
as a pot plant, and be well drained, the best material we can recommend to 
plant it im being good fibrous peat and sphagnum moss. It should be clevated 
some two or three inches above the rim of the pot, and treated to the tem- 
perature of the intermediate or Cattleya-house. During the growing season a 
moderate amount of water is essential to its well-being, but during the dull days 
in winter a partial drying is equally necessary, but its resting must never extend 
to the shrivelling of its bulbs. If it is more convenient, this plant will grow 
equally well in a hanging basket; but we have suggested pot culture on account 
of its clustered flowers, which are seen to better advantage grown in this manner.
