Sonerilas thrive best in a close and moisture-laden atmosphere with just enough ventilation to keep them from melting or decaying. A temperature of not less than 75° suits them best. Cuttings of well-ripened growth are placed under a glass case or bell-glass in a bottom heat of 70-80°. Care must be tak^ ing to allow the drops of condensation which gather the glass to dissipate. For potting material use fl screened leaf-mold, with plenty of silver sand inter- mixed and a little finely chopped fresh sphagnum on the top of the pots or pans. These plants have shallow roots, and require plenty of drainage, consisting of fine broken potsherds mixed with either charcoal or finely ground SONERILA. 2345. lidago Canad.
