ONCIDIUM 
Their charm lies in their generally large sprays of 
blooms, bright attractive colors, and the beauty or 
peculiarity of the form of their flowers. A good com¬ 
post for almost all is 2 /z peat and x /z live sphagnum 
moss. They all like a good supply of drainage and 
considerable water while growing. After growth is 
completed, water should be given sparingly but do 
not allow the bulbs to become shrivelled. In the few 
cases of the cooler types, we have given their prefer¬ 
ence with their description. By all means include 
some Oncidiums in your collection.
