Much moisture and free ventilation will be necessary here during warm
weather. The young plants of Euphorbias, Ixoras, Poinsettias, and other
such stove plants, to be rendered bushy by stopping them betimes.
The _AEschynanthus grandiflorus_, _Aphelandra cristata_, _Eranthemum
pulchellum_, Justicias, and any others that are intended for the
decoration of the conservatory in the autumn and early part of winter,
should be carefully looked over, and shifted without delay if they want
more pot-room; the shoots to be tied out thinly, and to be exposed to
as much sun as they will bear without scorching the foliage, to induce
stocky growth. Nothing is more injurious to stove plants than to keep
them growing late in the season, and thus to prevent the ripening of the
wood, which will render them more liable to injuries in winter and more
unproductive of flowers the following season.
