FORCING. The tubers are best started in wet peat moss or sand at a minimum temperature of 70° F. The roots arise 
from the top of the rhizome near the growing point. After the roots start, the rhizomes are potted in a soil containing 
one-half organic material and one-half sandy loam. A medium fertilizer level is preferred. The plants grow best 
when the soil is kept uniformly moist. They should be planted directly in the pot in which they are to be sold. The 
best temperature for growing the plants is 65° F. minimum. Plants are usually shaded to give a maximum light 
intensity of 5000 foot-candles during the forcing period. Higher light intensities may be given if the plants are grown 
with automatic watering or otherwise kept very moist. (Reprinted from “Florist Crop Production and Marketing"
