a season may be planted out in early summer, and 

 these will make good plants and furnish cuttings. They 

 will have to be topped frequently and carefully- lifted. 

 Young stock is better kept in pots, as the plants do not 

 lift well. Sunshine is essential during the winter season 

 to get the best development of reinwardtias. They 

 thrive best in a temperature of 55-60. (T. D. Hatfield.)
