Cult. All the species of this genus require the heat of a 
stove; they thrive best in sandy loam mixed with a little peat. 
Ripened cuttings will root in sand under a hand-glass, plunged in 
heat. Seeds procured from the places of their natural growth, 
should be sown in spring in pots filled with the same sort of soil 
recommended for the plants, and placed in a hot-bed. |
