Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Orchid Album, Vol. 2: Comprising Coloured Figures and Descriptions of New, Rare, and Beautiful Orchidaceous Plants The temperature of the Cattleya house will be found to suit this Calia, or it may be grown in a moist stove. We have often seen plants of this kind do better in a house wherein miscellaneous stove plants are grown than in the Orchid house, which we believe is owing to their obtaining under these conditions more moisture and light, two things in which most Orchids delight. We mention this in order that cultivators may know and understand that there are various Orchids which can be grown, and grown well, in company with other subjects in an ordinary plant stove. We ourselves have found that many of the species do best in a house where such plants as Crotons, &c., are grown. Dendrobiums especially like this treatment, under which the bulbs attain much larger dimensions, and become better ripened. It is quite an erroneous idea that Orchids all require special houses for their successful cultivation. This certainly is not the case, as some of the finest Cattleyas, Vandas, Dendrobes, Phalaenopsis, &c., that we have ever met with, have been cultivated in ordinary plant stoves, where they get a little Shade from the burning rays of the sun.
