Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches. Gardening. 1600. Lace-leaf plantâ.Ouvirandra fenestralis. help to keep the plant in good health by furnishing oxygen. (See Aqiiarimn.) The plant should be potted, and plunged not more than 18 inches below the sur- face of the water. For potting soil use a rich compost, such as is recommended for Nymphseas. The water should be kept clean and sweet, and a temperature of 65° to 75° provided. Avoid direct sunlight. In Madagascar the streams often dry up, and the tubers carry the plant over the dry season. In imitation of nature some cultivators take the tubers out of the soil, and leave them on a shelf in a hothouse during the month of February. It is doubtful whether this is necessarj'. Potting should be done while the plant is in active growth, not dormant. Prop, by division. fenestralis, Poir. {Aponogefon fenestrcile, Hook.). Fig. 1600.
