Stephanotis Floribunda

There is no stove plant more easily propagated. Choose cuttings that are short, trim off the lower leaves, and insert the cuttings in sand; place them under a hand-light, on a heated surface; they will quickly root. Pot them off as soon as roots are formed; replace under the hand-light for a week, shading from sun. In a fortnight they may be fully exposed. They prefer a rich open compost with pieces of charcoal intermixed. This plant will endure a temperature of 45°; in winter it should never exceed 55°, unless the sun shines, when it may be allowed to rise to 60°, and as the days increase in length the heat may be allowed to rise to 65°, when the plant begins to put forth short, stubby shoots, and fine, broad, healthy leaves; in a month after growth has commenced the flower-buds begin to show themselves; the heat is then increased to 70° by day with sun. - Cottage Gardener.
