These are very pretty little greenhouse plants ; 

 do well in sand and loam, mixed with a little 

 lime-rubbish, and are increased either from seeds 

 sown in spring, or from cuttings at any time ; 

 even a single leaf will make a plant. The cut- 

 tings should be laid to dry a day or two before 

 planting-.
