LACHENALIA, very beautiful greenhouse plants flowering in early Spring, with curiously 
spotted leaves and handsome flower-spikes. They should be potted in August and September 
in a compost of loam, sweet leaf soil, and sand, the bulbs being placed to 3 inches 
below the surface and surrounded by sand ; place the pots in an airy greenhouse or cold 
frame close to the glass, and give very little water until the bulbs have made foliage. In 
early November, before cold weather sets in, the pots in the cold frame should be transferred 
to a sunny situation in greenhouse where the temperature does not fall below 45°. The 
Lachenalia likes abundance of sunshine but not overmuch heat. In May, remove the pots 
again to a cold frame fully exposed to sun, and gradually cease giving water so that the 
bulbs may ripen off. A very beautiful effect is obtained by planting Lachenalias in wire 
hanging baskets for greenhouse decoration.
