Let rambling shoots of ordinary stove plants have frequent stopping.
The Aerides, Dendrobiums, Phalaenopses, Saccolabiums, Sarcanthuses,
Sobralias, Vandas, and others of the eastern genera of Orchids, will now
require most liberal and frequent waterings and syringings. Gongoras,
Peristerias, Stanhopeas, &c., when full of roots in baskets, require
a thorough soaking. Now is a good time to pot Cymbidiums, Peristerias,
&c., starting into growth. Aerides, Vandas, and plants of a similar
habit, do best when shifted after they have done blooming.
Achimenes.--Continue to shift them, as also _Begonias_, _Clerodendrons_,
_Gesneras_, &c., as requisite. Remove those in bloom to the greenhouse
or conservatory.
Climbers.--Keep them thin and tied in, so as not to shade the rest of
the plants to an injurious extent.
Succulents.--Shift _Melocacti_, &c., and keep them growing, and near the
glass.
