box has drainage—or, if bowl or dish garden is not drained, 
use plenty of gravel and water lightly only when dry. 
Soil should be loose and well drained. Use about one- 
third part coarse sharp sand (not beach sand), one-third part 
strained top soil, and one-third part old leaf mold (preferably 
oak leaf)—strained through a quarter inch screen. A little 
charcoal may be used. If tap water is hard, no lime need be 
added. If water is soft, add a pinch of powdered garden lime 
to soil twice a year. 
Place your plant where it gets sun and also some shade. 
Water when soil becomes dry about two inches below sur- 
face. In October through March, rest the plants by water- 
ing once every 4 to 6 weeks, thereby giving the plant strength 
to flower in the next season. 
Sometimes we send cuts, if we do not have the rooted 
plant. Place cut in shade until the scar is well healed over. 
Then place in very sandy soil and water lightly once every 
two weeks, until rooted. Then plant in regular manner.
