A temperature of not less than 75° suits them best. Cuttings of well-ripened growth are placed under a glass case or bell-glass in a bottom heat of 70-80°. Care must be taken every morn- ing to allow the drops of condensation which gather on the glass to dissipate. For potting material use fine- screened leaf-mold, with plenty of silver sand inter- mised and a little finely chopped fresh sphagnum on the top of the pots or pans.
