The Warm House and the flowering plants for it

THE WARM HOUSE

The actual temperature range of a warm house is 60 to 70 degrees during winter nights. However, most of those who grow African violets, gloxinias, and so forth, as well as foliage plants of tropical origin and nature, find they get more rapid leaf growth and plant increase when the night temperature is 2 to 5 degrees higher than that range. The warm house is also used for growing many of the “stove” plants described in old garden encyclopedias and English gardening books.
