SECTION CULTURE
Some 45 species are noted, with small short lived flowesr and generally a pendulous growth habdit. Differennt
species grow over a considerable altitudinal range, and therefore temperature rerquirements will vary depending
on where they come from. Many are pendulous, requiring slab culture. Lower altitude plants require constant water,
those from higher altitudes will appreciate some dryness during winter. |
