plant of easy cultivation, and one which can be made to 
flower at any season of the year. A moist atmosphere is 
essential to its health, with a temperature of about 75° by 
day, while.in a growing state. When in a state of rest, it 
should be kept quite dry. It is easily multiplied by cuttings 
or leaves, or by dividing the tubers which it forms at the 
roots.
