Here is a goofy experiment that I ran in 2011.It works and I now use it each fall when I lift my Hippis. The only difference then and now is that I settled on two 100 watt bulbs and 120 degree temperature. https://garden.org/ideas/view/… [http://garden.org/pics/2011-03-21/…]<https://garden.org/ideas/view/…> Redneck Amaryllis Experiment - Garden.org<https://garden.org/ideas/view/…> garden.org I have been curious for some time about the ability of heat to treat and even kill virus.

The fruits from one plant are more brownish than yellow and some are still a bit spongy. I broke open four of the driest and found four black seeds, one per fruit. Is it okay to open the fruits that are still a bit spongy or should I wait until they are completely hard? I am in the Scottsdale, AZ area and it is much too hot now to plant these outdoors and will be for another four months. I could sow the now ripe seed indoors and mist daily - advisable? At what depth? Really appreciate your input since I have no experience with this seed.

Many bulbs will often suffer from that high heat treatment and many don't survive. They might have a better chance if they were in tissue culture with more coddled conditions. The moral of the story is that prevention is much easier than treatment.

These plants had been maintained for decades and aspirin was one of the factors in keeping them alive. It had not cured them of viruses, and infection did spread to other plants. I do not doubt that a strong plant in good conditions may outgrow viruses, but having viruses near to non virused plants in a collection is not a good idea. I believe tissue culture from the miristem may also eliminate viruses, as well as heat treatments Peter (UK) On 5 June 2018 at 17:36, David Pilling <david@davidpilling.com> wrote: > Hi, > > It would be nice to believe as some people do: > > https://davesgarden.com/guides/articles/view/730/ > > that asprin could get rid of plant virus. > ------------------------------ Subject: Digest Footer _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… ------------------------------ End of pbs Digest, Vol 16, Issue 6 ********************************** _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
