In the case of a daughter bulb, or mobile, or offset , from a modern hipastrium hybrid, what is its 'level of attachment' to the mother bulb? A picture might help. But again, as my previous post suggests, if it has its own basal plate, or is sharing a portion of the mother bulbs' basal plate, I still think it could be cut free and carefully cultivated with an excellent chance of producing a healthy bulb. There are members of PBS that have extensive hip-hatrium experience and propagation, and study on a university level. Perhaps they will jump in here.
