CYRTOPODIUM 
(Warm) 
(From kyrtos curved and poca, a foot; referring 
to the form of the labellum or lip.) A heat-loving 
genus during its growing season. When growth is 
completed a long rest is needed, with very little water 
at the roots, and placed in a lower temperature until 
the new growth commences, when more water may 
be given and the plant brought into heat again.

DENDROBIUMS (Species) 
(Warm) 
(From dendron, a tree, and bios, life; the species 
are epiphytal in their native habitats.) Although 
not grown in such quantities as formerly, when im¬ 
ported Orchids had to be depended on for a display 
of bloom during the early months of the year, many 
of them are worthy of a place in the best collections 
as they are extremely floriferous. They require con¬ 
siderable heat during the growing season. 
They are best grown in small pots or pans sus¬ 
pended from the roof if possible, and potted in a 
mixture of well-chopped fibre and sphagnum moss. 
After finishing their growth they take a decided rest, 
when very little water is needed and cooler treat¬ 
ment should be given them. As soon as they show 
signs of the formation of flower buds they may be 
taken in'.o a warmer temperature and given more 
water to assist the flowers to develop.
