They can be grown as easily as grandmother’s boston ferns in an 
eastern or southern window during the winter months. During sum- 
mer place them out-of-doors in the shade. Plant them in a good com- 
posted soil with bone meal or superphosphate added (tablespoon to a 
6” pot of soil). After a new growth has started about 6” high you may 
mulch with cow manure or feed with liquid nutrient solutions once a 
week until fall. Keep them damp as they will take copious supplies of 
water especially during the summer growing months. Best time to 
repot is after flowering. Place either one or two bulbs in a 6” pot. 
You can propagate the small bulblets from the base of the older bulbs 
by breaking them off and placing in 3 or 4” pots. You can also air 
layer the flowerspike by cutting it off after flowering and covering 
with damp sphagnum moss in a flat and plantlets will form at some of 
the nodes (joints of the flower stem). 
If you have never grown orchids, this is a fine species to start with. 
It grows in soil just like any common garden plant and will respond 
with ordinary care.
