46 THE CULTURE OE l^OT-PLANTS 



This is one of the few cases in which the jiots may be kept 

 standing in saucers containing water while the plants are 

 making their growth. They should not be neglected when 

 they have finished flowering, but should be kept moist until 

 the foliage begins to wither, when, as usual, the water supply 

 should be reduced, but not cut off entirely. If they can be 

 planted out in a shady and damp corner, so much the better. 

 If it is desired to increase the stock, each clump can be 

 divided in autumn into two or three pieces.
