Marcu, 1913.| THE ORCHID REVIEW. 87 
should not be disturbed, beyond removing the old decayed rooting material. 
This should be carefully picked out, the drainage made good, and the 
receptacles carefully filled up anew. Those in need of fresh receptacles 
should have any clinging roots carefully detached with the aid of a thin- 
bladed knife or similar article. Select for each plant a suitable basket or 
suitably-drained small pan, then work the compost carefully amongst the 
roots. The Cattleya compost is a suitable rooting medium for them. These 
plants require an abundance of moisture in the atmosphere during active 
growth, and even during the winter months it is not desirable to keep the 
house in which they are growing as dry as others. 
GENERAL REMARKS.—We have now passed the worst of another winter, 
and our plants will respond to the more genial conditions. No attempt yet 
should be made to rush the plants into growth, but let each individual wake 
up, so to speak, and start its season’s work in its own way, giving each the 
best care and attention, according to its needs, at our disposal. Every 
effort should be made to eradicate insect pests that trouble us, as, if 
unchecked, these parasites are continually doing much harm.
