Propagation is by swd, in most cases sown as soon as ripe, using
a compost of peat, loam, sand and sphagnum moss, cowring lightly,
placing the tropical spwie :; in a close nloist propqating-case where
a tcmprratlirc of 75” to 80” is maintained. Seeds of species from
temperate climates may lw placed in a tt3nperature of 65’ to 70”.
The soil shouhl btb kept uniformly moist at, all timps. Some kinds
art’ incretrsetl !)J- of-tsets, others by tubers, while the larger number
arc increased by division or by cuttings.
