roots Part Of the old soil is generally
removed from the roots; but # it seems
to be sodden or sour. or falls away
freely, much more than half may be
taken away. and should the roots have
a decayed or dry appearance they may
be cut rather closely back with a sharp
knife. Life must be apparent, other

They should then be placed in pots
