during Winter, and be started in a gentle bottom heat in February or March. They may then 
be grown on in pots for greenhouse decoration or planted out of doors in a sheltered position

be replaced by a rich compost, as these plants are gross feeders. Abundance of water 
should be given as growth proceeds.
