O : ( Orchis, Ophrys, Barlia, Serapias )
Plants are growing in dry calcareous meadows and need much sun. During vegetative period they like slightly moist conditions but with exellent drainage. In rest period they need dry condition to prevent rot. Compost : 3 parts pumice gravel, 0,5 parts gritty clay, 0,5 parts perlite, 1 part cocosfibres, 1 part limestone.

Oc : ( Chloraea, Gavilea )
As O but compost without limestone and not absolutely dry during rest period but never moist for some days.

T : ( Calopogon, Cypripedium acaule, Liparis, Calochilus )
Plants are growing in spagnum bogs. Best way is to cultivate them in living spaghnum in a artifical   bog. Calochilus tubers should be dry during rest period and may not be hardy. 

W : ( Cynorkis, Disperis )
Plants are growing in nature in coniferous forests in eastern Africa. Under shady conditions they need dry conditions during rest period. Compost. Pumice gravels with pine needles and some cocosnut fibers 

Fertilization:During vegetative period all plants in pot culture should be fertilized with around 10% of a common fertilizer but never in rest period 

Temperature: There’s no general rule with temperature. For all this orchids 20° C is good during vegetative period but less or more is no problem.But they hate all hot and humid conditions with low air movement
