Keep up a sweet, moist atmosphere with a regular circulation of air,
using an abundance of water about the floors; and syringe frequently air
plants and others suspended. Shut up a solar heat, if possible, of 80
deg. towards three or four o'clock.
Achimenes.--Shift them, and also _Gesneras_, and pot others for
succession.
Begonias.--When the flowers begin to decline, the plants may be
reduced, and potted into smaller pots, and be kept close for some time
afterwards. Put in cuttings of them, if not attended to before; and
also cuttings of _Eranthemums_, _Euphorbias_, _Gesneras_, _Justicias_,
_Linums_, &c.
Clerodendrons.--Give them plenty of room and encouragement to grow.
Orchids.--They should have a mild, but regularly moist, atmosphere for
a few weeks until they begin to grow; no water to be applied until that
period, and then with moderation.
