From this, by way of progressive potting they may reach a 5-inch or 6-inch pot, and will, if massed together or grouped with maidenhair ferns, form quite a charming feature. Soil such as that advised for gloxinias will snit them splendidly, with liberal feeding with liquid manure when the pots are so filled with roots that the soil dries out quickly.
The plants relish what gårdeners term an intermediate temperature, say about 550; they must not have great fluctuations of temperature or they will not make steady growth, and an eye must be kept on their leaves to get rid of thrip as soon as it makes an appearance. This pest is dealt with in the chapter especially devoted to greenhouse pests.
