TERRESTRIALS, NATIVE: Formula for Potting Soil
For Australian terrestrials a good mix is made up of 50 to 60% of sharp, washed river sand, 20% German peat, and 20 to 30% of decayed Eucalyptus leaf litter, or sawdust chips. A77-984For U.S. types, people aften transplant in the original soil; but more than that is required for cypripediums; for experiments with artificial bogs, refer to A76-415+; transplant the mycorrhizal fungi and the condition they require. A77-702

TERRESTRIALS: Native U.s. Types
Ensuring seed fertility = refrigeration is the key to success for Cypripedium reginae and likely others; refer to A87-935Formula for seed germination = developing embryos in flask sometimes turn black and die on a scientifically prepared media; for other formulae try Orchid biology II (ed. Arditti), the Appendix on seed germination. A84-1181

TERRESTRIALS: Problem Plants
Use plastic pots, broad based, but half as high as most; repot any time during dormancy and carry over about one-third of the old compost to transfer the mycorrhiza; dormancy comes after flowering not in the fall or the winter as expected, so water lightly in summer, carefully in winter; practice at Kew; refer to OR87-19
