Dendrobium transparens album requires the same treatment as that given by 
us for D. transparens in Volume ix. of this work, plate 396. Like the type it is 
well adapted for growing in small teak-wood baskets, or in shallow pans, so that they 
may be suspended near the roof-glass, fully exposed to the sun and light; some shading, 
however, will be necessary when the sun is very powerful. An abundant supply 
of moisture to the roots as well as in the atmosphere, and a judicious admission 
of air, are conditions essential to the welfare of the plant. During the growing 
season especially the supply of water must be liberal, but during the resting period 
it may be reduced to a minimum, just sufficient water being required to prevent 
the pseudobulbs becoming shrivelled. As the species flowers after the resting 
period, the plant requires a moderate amount of water at its roots as soon as the 
flower-buds begin to show, to enable the plant to develop the flowers, which will 
last much longer in beauty wlien properly nourished.
