Cult. As the species are all natives of tropical countries, they 
all require the heat of a stove. They thrive best in rich loamy 
soil mixed with a little peat. Ripened cuttings will root if planted 
in a pot of sand and placed under a hand-glass, in a moist heat; 
but the leaves of the cuttings should not be shortened. They 
are easily raised from fresh seeds, procured from their native 
countries, sown in pots, and plunged into a good hot-bed, 1m the 
same sort of soil recommended for the plants.
