kept in the warmest house throughout the entire season, where the lowest tempera- 
ture does not fall below about 65° at night. It enjoys an abundance of sun and 
light, but yet a thin shading material should be used to break the direct influence 
of the sun’s rays during the middle of the day, and to avoid the effects of burning 
the leaves or to prevent them turning yellow, both of which have a bad effect 
upon the plant. A moist atmosphere must be maintained during the summer 
months, which is its growing season, and a more moderate amount of moisture in 
the air in winter will meet all requirements. The plant may be grown in a well- 
drained pot or in a hanging basket, the latter being preferable, as in this case the 
plant can be hung up near the roof-glass, and thus be better exposed to the 
full influence of the light; but it must be remembered that the plants are under 
glass, and that if exposed too much, the sun’s rays may prove injurious to them, 
as before remarked. The pots or baskets in which they are grown should be well 
drained, and above this material sphagnum moss should alone be used; this should 
be cleanly picked and made firm, and at the same time should any decay in this 
material set in, it must be replaced at once by good fresh living moss, nothing 
dead, decaying, or sour being allowed to remain in contact with plant or roots.
