In general, the cultural methods given under Achimenes (Volume I, page 206) suit naegelias well (compare also Gloxinia). The roots should be stored in the pots in which they have been grown. It is a poor plan to keep any bulbs or tubers of the Gesneriaceae; in dry sand in a dry storeroom. After being well ripened, naegelia roots should be kept in the greenhouse under the benches. Keep them out of the drip, but water them occasionally.
