in which the temperature and moisture can be ¢ontrolled, than it is

temperature fluctuating. {Such varieties, however, as Hragrans,

loam init togive it a body. Drainage shouldbe good. The water- 
Ving should be liberal and showering frequent. The variegated sorts 
require plenty of light to bring out the richness of their coloring.
