This beautiful flowering plant is very popular and exceedingly
attractive in conservatory decoration. It has been greatly improved
in the size and colours of the blossoms in recent years, and includes
almost every shade. When grown from tubers they are treated like
the Begonia, although during the younger stages of growth they
prefer a moist, warm atmosphere. The soil recommended should
be of a rich, loamy description, mixed with sand and leaf-mould. Plants
may be fed with weak liquid manure up to the time the buds
appear.

The tuberous-rooted Begonia has become a plant of great importance, owing to the rapid improvement it has undergone. No garden or
greenhouse can be considered complete without it.
Tubers may be started into growth from January onwards. They
should be put into a medium temperature. Place them in boxes filled
with leaf-mould, and as soon as the tubers are started pot into small
pots in a mixture of equal parts of leaf-soil and loam, with the addition of a little silver sand. After a few weeks again re-pot them, this
time into their flowering pots, using a compost of about two parts
rich loam, one part leaf-mould, with a little sand and some broken
charcoal and dried  cow  manure.    Pot moderately firm, and place in
I a cool house, keeping it close for a few days until root action commences, afterwards giving ample air.
