Phyllocladus 



( 193 ) 



Phyllota 



placed in ;i temperature of about <>0. No water 

 will be required for two or three weeks. Cuttings 

 treated thus quickly root. Seeds ripen freely on 

 healthy plants, and they germinate well if sown 

 in spring in .-imilar soil and temperature to that 

 given to the cuttings. 



Soil. Three parts porous, rather sandy loam, one 

 part leaf mould, and one part old mortar rubbish, 

 well mixed. Free drainage. 



Other Cultural Points. Many fail with Phyllo- 

 cacti by keeping them damp at the roots in 

 winter. For two or three months in the middle of 

 the dull season no water is needed. In summer a 

 fail' supply about half as much as for soft-wooded 

 subjects will be required. From the end of June 

 until the end of August the plants should be stood 

 out of doors against a south wall. 



Potting is not needed oftener than once in five 

 or six years for established plants, but a top-dressing 

 of the same soil as recommended for potting may 

 be given annually. No shade should be given at 

 any time. Staking is needed for big plants, and 

 it is well to secure the stakes to the wall.

PHYLLOCLADUS (>yn. THALAMIA. 

 CELERY-LEAVED PINE TREE.) 



Greenhouse evergreen Conifers (ord. Conifene), 

 with minute, scale-like leaves, and branches 

 flattened and leaf-like (phyllodes). Propagation, 

 by cuttings of the ripened shoots, in sand, in a 

 close frame, in spring. Bottom heat may be given 

 as soon as the bases of the cuttings begin to swell, 

 not before. Soil, good loam, with a little sand.

PHYLLOSTACHYS. 



A genus of Bamboos (ord. Gramineae). The 

 Phyllostachys include a number of plants of 

 stately presence, and hardy enough to withstand 

 an ordinary British winter. It is desirable that 

 they should be planted in sheltered spots, for north 

 and east winds would cripple them and spoil their 

 beauty for a long time. (The culture is given 

 under AUUNDIXAKIA and BAMBUSA, which see.)
