As the soft-wooded stove plants will now be making rapid growth, the
free admission of light is necessary to prevent them from drawing; using
shade only during scorching sunshine. When a plant is shifted, give less
water to the roots; as the fresh soil, after the first watering will be
moist enough for some time. Some of the free-growing kinds of Cattleyas,
Calanthes, Phaiuses, Saccolabiums, Stanhopeas, and Zygopetalums, should
be encouraged to make kindly growth by frequent syringings about their
pots, blocks, or baskets.
