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.
