Cult. The stove species, or those from warm climates, may 
be grown in large pots, or pans of water placed in a warm part 
of the stove, with several inches of rich loamy soil in the bottom. 
They thrive well in a water-tight frame, placed on a hot-bed in 
the summer season, where we have seen them flower freely. 
The hardy species should be planted in ponds, cisterns, or canals, 
where they will make a fine appearance. They are all either in- 
creased by seeds, dividing the roots, or separating the tubes. 
Mr. Kent, formerly of Clapton, who cultivated exotic aquatics 
to great perfection, found that the bulbous-rooted Nymphæ as, 
if checked in their growth for want of water, from cold or ex- 
cessive heat, were apt to form bulbs at their roots, and cease 
growing for that season. Hence the necessity of a regular and 
powerful moist heat to make them flower freely.

Cult. As the species of this genus are all hardy except one, 
the N. Japénica, which has not as yet been introduced into 
Europe, they may be planted in ponds, cisterns, canals, or lakes, 
where they will make a beautiful appearance, a rich loamy soil 
suits them best, and they are propagated either by dividing the 
roots or by seeds, which may be thrown into the water, wherever 
they are intended to remain.
