Treatment of lIouse-plants In
watering plants in rooms, discretion
must be used; cactus, cereus, and in
fact all the so-called succulents, require
but little water in winter; simply
enough to keep them growing. Callas,
and all that class of aquatic or semi
aquatic plants will bear watering Ia sat
uration. As a rule, smooth-leaved and
hard plants require less watering than
pubescent and ~soft-leaved plants. Many
small pots require water every day.
sometimes twice a day-they dry out so
fast-unless plunged into some moist
material. The difficulty with amateurs
is, they usually give small pots too little
water, and large pots too much. Until
the r u habit and necessities Of a plant
are learned, it is better that it dry sutfi-
GENTLY todrOop a little, rather than that
the soil he kept saturated. Over satu-
ration kills more plants than too much
