The tall-stemmed section of this genus is increased bv 

 cuttings, the section with short, thick pscudo-bulbs liv 

 division. The lormer also occasionally produces vivip-

 established plants, and by layers. Seeds, when obtain- 

 able, can be used, but are slow to develop. Cuttings are

 lished, and keep them in pots until they are set into per- 

 manent quarters.
