Hello Bob, I actually had some luck cutting little notches on the basal platen dusting them with rooting hormone and let it cure for a few days. It takes a little time but It's worth a try. Good Luck, Fred -----Original Message----- From: pbs <pbs-bounces@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> On Behalf Of Robert Lauf via pbs Sent: Friday, December 1, 2023 9:39 AM To: pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net Cc: Robert Lauf <boblauf@att.net> Subject: [pbs] Hippeastrum Propagation Does anyone have a recommendation for vegetative propagation of Hippeastrum? In this case it is important to have a method that doesn't risk losing the entire plant, so I prefer not to dice up the whole bulb and hope the chips survive. I don't think leaf props work as easily as in Eucomis, if at all, but ideally some sort of tissue culture using leaves would be preferred. I'm prepared to do sterile culture if someone has any experience with the medium and protocols that work for Hipps. I plan to dig around in the literature but if someone is already experienced in this, I'm all ears. Thanks!
