292 Diseases of Greenhouse Crops 



Culture of Dendrobium 



These plants seem to thrive best in small pots or 

 baskets. They also require an abundance of water 

 during the growing season, and a night temperature 

 of about 65 degrees F. When flowers appear the 

 plants become destitute of leaves, at which time 

 only enough water is applied to prevent the pseudo- 

 bulbs from drying. 



Culture of Li5:LiA 



These plants require a sunny location and an 

 abundance of overhead water during active growth. 



Culture of Lycaste 



These plants need to be kept as cool as possible 

 in the summer; otherwise, the culture is the same 

 as for Cattleya. 



Culture of Odontoglossum 



These plants require an abundance of ventilation, 

 and a cool moist temperature during the summer. 

 They are grown in pots or baskets filled with soil 

 made of equal parts peat, live sphagnum moss, and 

 osmunda fiber. 



Culture of Oncidium 



These plants require a bright, warm house and 

 are suspended from the rafters in small baskets.
