Too
little light, too high a temperature and improper watering are the usual causes
of failure in caring for gift plants. These plants are grown in a greenhouse
where the night temperatures are usually cool, there is ample light, and the air
is moist. When these plants are brought into a dry home where the light is poor
and the temperatures are maintained for human comfort without consideration for
the plants, results are frequently disappointing. Do not expect to hold over a
gift plant from year to year. Enjoy them while they are attractive and in season
and then discard.
