See also:STOVE See also:PLANTS .—For the successful culture of See also:stove See also:plants two houses at least, wherein different temperatures can be maintained, should be devoted to their growth . The minimum temperature durin See also:winter should range at See also:night from about 55° in the cooler to 65 in the warmer See also:house, and from 65° to 75° by See also:day, allowing a few degrees further rise by See also:sun See also:heat . In summer the temperature may range 1o° higher by artificial heat, night and day, and will often by sun heat run up to 90 or even 95 , beyond which it should be kept down by See also:ventilation and frequent syringing and damping down of the pathways . During the growing See also:period the See also:atmosphere must be kept moist by damping the walls and pathways, and by syringing the plants according to their needs; when growth is completed less moisture will be necessary . Watering, which, except during the resting period, should generally be copious, is best done in the forenoon; while syringing should be done See also:early in the See also:morning before the sun becomes too powerful, and See also:late in the afternoon to admit of the foliage drying moderately before night . |
