All these will do well if potted in turfy peat and 

 a little leaf soil. In potting the plants, care should 

 be taken that they are not put in too large pots, 

 and as soon as they have perfectly completed the 

 pseudo-bulbs, they should be allowed to go to rest, 

 and no water should be given them until the time 

 they begin to grow, and but very little only until 

 they have made pretty good progress ; for if much 

 water is given when the plants are in a young state, 

 they are very apt to go off. It would be well, be- 

 fore the growing season commences, to shake the 

 plants out of their pots, and to put them up on 

 some dry shelf for a month previous to potting 

 them, and before potting, all the old roots should 

 be cut off.
