Cult. The greater part of this genus of succulent plants 
being biennial, the seeds of them should be sown in spring or 
summer, in pots filled with gravelly sand and loam, well drained 
in the bottom. Cuttings of them are also easily rooted, if Jaid 
to dry a few days after they are cut, before being planted, espe- 
cially of those species which are permanent. Brick rubbish, 
mixed with loam, is a good soil for the grown up plants.
