After fruiting, the whole branch usually dies to the ground, and then the rosette from which it arose will give rise to the lateral creeping branches by which new rosettes will be formed. Thus non-sexual vegeta- tive reproduction follows the sexual mode, the same plant being capable of both but not of both simultaneously. Before it has flowered, however, a rosette is not likely soon to branch and to form new rosettes. If vigorous young plants which, under ordinary conditions, would presently bloom are so placed that they have only enough light for active vegetation but otherwise are very favorably situated, they will not form the erect flower-bearing branches, but will continue to grow and will presently form creeping branches, spreading and maintaining themselves in this way. Plants may be kept from blooming by this means.
