The above flowers represent the darkest of two strains of superb deep crimson color 
in sepals and petals and lip. These seedlings are much faster maturing than Cattleya 
hybrids. By frequent applications of organic fertilizers such as liquid cow manure— 
sheep—blood or full nutrient solutions they can be expected to flower in from two 
to three years from communities. Feeding is best given only during active growth 
and less in winter, more in summer. Some growers feed once a week while others 
once every two weeks.

The above two crosses represent the largest strains of Dendrobium Phalaenopsis 
flowers we know about. The parents have produced canes three to four feet long 
and as many as three sprays of flowers to a cane. When well grown the canes of 
previous years will throw flower spikes. This is unusual in the orchid family for 
previous years growths seldom produce flowers. Do not over pot Dendrobium Phal. 
They like a small pot and good drainage but will take plenty of water when growing. 
They require the same light as Cattleyas and after reaching maturity can be grown 
out-of-doors in the summer months. Very adaptable to the Southern States where 
they can be grown without a greenhouse. They should be brought in when freezing 
or in low 40’s. Mature plants have a dormant period after flowering and can be 
kept in the house plant window during the winter and then placed out-of-doors in 
Spring. They commence to flower in September and will continue until Christmas. 
They rank among the best keeping orchids.
