Spathoglottises grow best at the warm end of the cattleya or Brazilian house in a moist shady location.

They all require a liberal amount of water when growing, but only enough to keep them in sound condition when at rest. They are rather hard to increase by division.

Spathoglottis (Greek, spathe and tongue; said to refer to the shape of the lip). Orchidaceae. Plants agreeing with Bletia in habit and form of inflorescence; terrestrial orchids of the Old-World tropics, mostly with numerous flowers.

Pseudobulbs broadly conic, 1-3-leaved: leaves elongate, long-petioled, narrow, plicate, articulated: scape lateral, bearing large flowers in a terminal raceme: sepals free, subequal; petals similar or broader and longer; labellum not spurred, lateral lobes somewhat convolute, middle lobe clawed; column slender; pollinia 8.— About 40 species in Asia, Australia, and the Malay Islands.

Spathoglottises grow best at the warm end of the cattleya or Brazilian house in a moist shady location. Pot culture suits them best, and the compost should consist principally of equal parts peat fiber and sphagnum moss with a little chopped sod added; about half of the pot should be devoted to drainage. They all require a liberal amount of water when growing, but only enough to keep them in sound condition when at rest. They are rather hard to increase by division. CH
