Trichopilia suavis may be grown in pots or in shallow hanging pans, the 
latter being preferable because it likes plenty of light and air. It succeeds well 
in the ordinary mixture of peat and sphagnum, with plenty of drainage. It 
succeeds well either in the intermediate or the Mexican house. Great care should 
be taken in watering, as anything like a sodden condition of the compost is fatal 
to their well-doing. If well grown, it is a very handsome plant and the fragrance 
and number of the flowers render it additionally attractive.
