Apri, 1913.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 126 
ANGULOAs that are pushing up their flower spikes are best potted directly 
the flowers fade. Use a similar compost to that advised for Coelogynes. They 
are best grown in pots, which must be well drained, in fact no Orchid will 
succeed in a badly-drained compost. These plants grow best in a light 
position in the Intermediate house. They must be sparingly watered after 
repotting, but when well established a liberal supply should be given. No 
moisture should be allowed to remain in the centres of the young growths. 
MAXILLARIAS.—Those species of Maxiliaria which flowered during the 
winter months, and are now becoming active at the roots, should be repotted 
ifin need of fresh rooting material. These plants will succeed either in 
pots, pans, or baskets, and a compost comprised of equal parts of peat, 
polypodium and osmunda fibres, and sphagnum moss will answer their 
requirements. After being disturbed they should be placed in a shady 
position, and watered caretully for some time. M. Sanderiana and others 
that flower at this season should not be potted until their flowering period 
is over. All these species will succeed either at the warm end of the Cool 
house, or the Cool end of the Intermediate house. 
AERIDES, SACCOLABIUMS, and ANGR&CUMS that require new compost 
should have attention at once, as with the more favourable conditions of 
growth they will push roots rapidly. Plants of similar character that are 
inmates of the East Indian house may also have attention, should they be 
in need of it. A suitable compost for this class of plants is made up of 
equal portions of osmunda fibre and sphagnum moss, cut up moderately 
finely and mixed well together. 
ONcIpIUMs.—Those Oncidiums which flower during the winter months 
will now be starting into growth, and if in need of fresh rooting material 
may have attention whenever new roots are seen to be pushing from the 
base of the new growths. - Oncidiums succeed in a similar compost to 
Odontoglossums, but they may have a more liberal supply of half-decayed 
Oak leaves given them. Those that are now developing flower spikes may 
have water afforded them whenever they become dry. 
ODonTOGLossuM ciTROsMUM.—As the flower spikes are observed to be 
pushing from the centres of the young growths, they may have slightly 
more water at the roots. As soon as the flowers are over the plants may 
be given new rooting materials, should they be in need of it. Not being a 
Strong rooting subject, the receptacles should not be over large. They will 
Succeed either in pans or baskets in a light position in an Intermediate 
house. The usual Odontoglossum compost will answer their requirements. 
GENERAL REMARKS.—We have again reached the busy season, and, like 
our plants, must become active, as Nature is exacting in her demands, and 
unless each plant receives its exact requirements at the proper time, the 
t results cannot be looked for. This, in practice, may be hard to
