GREEN SWAN ORCHID 
(Cycnoches Chlorochilon) 
The unsual flowers of this orchid are 4-5 inches in width, a beautiful chartreuse 
green color, and fragrant. 
We will ship Cycnoches August 1 to December 1. They flower October-December. 
Growth begins in February. Report when new leat growth is 2-3 inches tall and 
when roots 2 inch long. Use fresh damp osmunda. Spray lightly daily until roots 
become well established in the fiber. Then thoroughly soak once a week and water 
more often if plant becomes dry. During summer feed every 2-3 weeks. We recom- 
mend using liquid Orchid Fertilizer and Ortho-Gro (fish emulsion) for alternate feedings. 
Start to reduce amount of water in September. After flower spike appears, keep 
plant slightly damp. This orchid is deciduous. Leaves will turn yellow and drop off 
before, during or after flowering. Sometimes plants produce a second flower spike 
in a season. 
Inspect undersides of leaves for red spider and mealybug, and spray with water 
and Wilson's Super-Cide or malathion. If old bulb deteriorates or becomes soft, cut 
it off so rot will not spread to new growth. 
Flowering size—5.00—7.50—10.00—12.50
