GROWING HINTS 
Orchid plants apparently need more sunlight as they develop their 
buds and open their flowers than at any other time. Be sure to give 
the plants as much sun as possible until the flowers have been open 
three or four days—then you can move the plant to a table away from 
the window and the flowers will last longer than they would in the 
sunlight, but be sure the developing buds and flowers get plenty of 
light. 
If plants with buds are kept in deep shade, the buds will often 
become papery, turn yellow and fall off, or if the flowers open, they 
will be smaller and lighter colored than if they had had sufficient light. 
If you feel that the light in any of your windows is insufficient, 
you can augment it by placing a 100 watt incandescent light about 
10-20 inches above the plant and burning it during daylight hours only. 
Diseases—Orchids have very few diseases. About the only disease 
of any importance to the amateur is black rot. This is caused by keep- 
ing the plant or its foliage too wet. Its symptoms are soft black or 
brown dead areas in leaves, bulbs; or new growths. These dead areas 
are usually bordered by a yellow region. 
The only practical treatment is to cut out the affected area with a 
sharp knife and to treat the cut areas with powdered sulphur. Keep 
the plant drier than usual for the next few weeks and increase the light. 
C. WOLTERIANA 
This is a collector’s item. The last 
time we had these they sold out 
immediately. We only have a few 
now, first come, first served. All 
shades from peach thru apricot, 
yellow and gold to flamingo, 3-4” 
flower, carries 8-14 on a stem. A 
very strong grower, blooms Febru- 
ary and March.
