Indoor Culture: To grow Lily-of-the-valley 
successfully indoors, they should be planted in pots or 
boxes, about | in. apart, leaving the crown exposed 
above the soil, do not press the soil too tight between 
and about the roots. To start off they like a bottom-heat 
of 65°—75° and the soil should be kept moist. Keep the 
crowns shaded from the light, until the spikes are 5—6 
in. high, when they can be placed in full light (never 
direct sun-light).
