THE GARDENING WORLD. 
August 18, 1894. 
Temperature for Dendrobiums.— H. Thomas-. 
The species which you mention may be kept 
in a temperature of 50 degs. as the lowest night 
figure. While they are under those conditions 
they must be kept dry overhead and fairly dry at 
the root. As the flowering period comes round you 
would naturally raise the temperature to 60 degs. by 
night with a rise by day. giving the plants more 
water to sustain the flowers. When they commence 
to make their new growth a higher temperature 
would be necessary. Whether resting or growing 
they should always be fully exposed to direct 
sunlight.
