With us in England it does not however prove fit for the 
open ground. 
It may be grown in a large pot or tub, but where it can 
be planted out in a conservatory bed it will succeed much 
better. The soil most suitable is heath mould mixed with 
silver sand. Being a greenhouse plant, air should be given 
at all times when the weather is favourable, and it must be 
exposed as much to the light as possible. It is propagated 
from cuttings in the usual way. 
The worst of the plant is that it occupies a great deal of 
room, and therefore can only be grown in large houses, and 
it is, like all its family, a favourite resort of red spider. 
When however the first is of no consequence, and the second 
can be kept down, it is well worth growing; for we have few 
plants whose flowers form such broad gay masses.
