YOU CAN GROW ORCHID PLANTS IN YOUR HOME 
The amateur can successfully grow healthy plants and enjoy beautiful 
flowers in his own home by following the simple directions of orchid 
culture. There are many varieties that can be grown in the home, such 
as the many species and plants of the Cattleya genera. While the condition 
of the average home is apt to be dry and more or less subject to drafts, 
orchid plants can be grown very weil at home. If the amateur will keep 
in mind the directions for temperature and humidity and the use of a 
fine mist spray on the foliage of the plants on bright sunny days, he will 
be successful. The use of a metal tray filled with gravel and the plants 
set upon inverted pots on the tray will greatly assist in keeping the air 
moist around the plants. Give the plants plenty of indirect light. Keep 
the plants clean and give them plenty of ventilation. Orchid plants are 
different but they are not difficult to grow. There is a fine book for the 
amateur grower and it may be purchased for $1.98 at the address below:
