Cult. The species of Kalanchde being succulent, require very 
little water unless when growing freely ; and the pots in whic 
they are grown ought to be well drained with sherds. A m3- 
ture of loam and sand appears to be the best soil for them. The 
species are easily increased by cuttings. A leaf taken off any
