DENDROBIUMS 
This genus contains some of the finest of the spray orchids. They are of easy 
culture, although one must be aware of the particular requirements of each 
species in order to be successful in flowering them. 
Dendrodium phalaenopsis and all of its varieties should be grown in the 
Cattleya house and given as much sun as possible without burning the foliage. 
Give the plants plenty of water when they are growing. When not in growth, 
withhold some of the water and give only enough to keep the plants from shriv- 
eling. Weak applications of liquid fertilizer are advantageous when the plants 
are in growth.
