They are quite easily cultivated, but are house plants in temperate latitudes. They are peculiarly liable to attacks of insects, plant-lice (_Aphides_) being especially an enemy.
The florist's varieties are chiefly produced from the species _Cineraria cruenta_. Beautiful hybrids have been developed from this and other species, and the flower certainly deserves the popularity it has attained through sterling merit.
