and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
Of the smaller kinds take younger cuttings, and put them under a bell-glass, also plunged in heat. The sooner 
the plants are potted ofF after they are rooted the better. If they stay too long, the sand injures their roots : 
they should be kept under a close glass, and shaded for a few days after potting off, and exposed to the air by 
degrees." {Bot. Cult. 11.) 
The greenhouse species are particularly valuable as flowering for the most part in winter, or early in spring ; 
they are very hardy and grow freely in loam, peat, and sand well drained. Cuttings of most kinds, Sweet 
observes, will root pretty freely, taken off' in the young wood and planted in sand, under a bell-glass, and 
plunged in a little bottom heat. The kinds that do not root readily from cuttings may be increased by taking 
off roots, as large pieces as can be spared, and planting them in the same kind of soil as the old plants, when 
they should be plunged under a hand-glass in a little bottom heat. Most of the kinds might be propagated by 
that means. {Bot. Cult. 126.)

a fleshy fusiform root, beset with strong fibres, gathered into a head ; this root and every part of the plant is
