EPIDENDRUM 
Nearly all of the Epidendrums do best in the Cattleya 
house and should be given Dendrobium treatment. 
E. Vitellinum is an exception and its treatment is given 
under its description. Cattleya compost suitable for 
the harder bulb kind. One-third sphagnum moss and 
slightly softer potting is more suitable for the softer 
bulbed, small species. They are very attractive. The 
colors in most cases run to rose, bright red and yel¬ 
low. The flowers are small but very numerous in the 
heads. They are exceptionally free and easy growers.
