Leschenaultias must be kept entirely in the greenhouse, 
and should be grown in well-drained fibrous peat an 
silver sand, which must not be allowed to get dry. They are propagated 
by means of cuttings, the ends of moderately firm shoots being used for 
the purpose, and inserted in sandy peat under a bell-glass. This should 
be done about May, and the cuttings should be placed in gentle heat, 
but shaded from the sun. After the cuttings are well rooted, they should 
be repotted, and placed in a close frame until they have become again 
_ established, when they should be removed to a light, sunny and airy 
position in the greenhouse. None but soft water may be given to oe 
and not too freely. After flowering, the plants should be overhauled, 
and with a view to retaining good form the shoots should be stopped 
where necessary.
