Why, then, do the leaf tips turn 
brown, and why are the leaves so long 
in opening ? 
There is but one cause for all this 
change. Unlike the atmosphere otf 
the greenhouse, that of a home is 
extremely dry. Now you will say 
that itis very foolish to treat the roots 
in one way while treating the crown in 
another. You have placed it in a dry 
atmosphere, therefore you must keep 
an excess of water from the roots. 
Water only when the surface of the 
soil becomes dry, and at such times 
spray the leaves. Do not keep the 
room too warm, as the warmer the air 
of the house the dryer it will be also. 
In the hothouse, plants will grow 
luxuriantly in a very high temperature 
with much moisture, but just the oppo- 
site conditions must be observed when 
grown within the home. Occasionally 
loosen the surface of the soil, which 
should be a mixture of sand, loam and 
fine peat in equal parts. This will 
allow the water to penetrate more 
easily to the roots.
