Orchids can be grown in the house with 
success and pleasure, contrary to the gen- 
eral belief that they require greenhouse 
culture. 
A sunny, well ventilated room and a 
space where they can be syringed with a 
handsprayer, such as a shallow tray with 
pebbles and a wooden rack for the plants 
to stand on, would be ideal. Before water- 
ing, it is advisable to let the plants be- 
come dry and then hold them in a bucket 
of tepid water until the bubbles stop com- 
ing up. 
The best general potting medium is 
Osmunda fern root, with some broken 
charcoal or brick added.
