Last spring i repotted a plant of Eustephia darwinii and found a bunch of basal offsets loose in the pot at depth, i planted these in a separate pot,  nothing happened all summer. i recently un potted them to see what was going on and found that nothing had happened except a few were gone, no roots no top growth, nothing.

The parent plant sent up a wonderful stem in August. i find it grows best in the cool months and does not like the hot summer heat we get here, but prefers the cooling fall temperatures to renew its leaves. 

 but i am confused as the wiki says it is a summer grower .. for me it is summer boomer but fall- winter -spring grower. 

what should i except for the small offset bulbs? will these grow?
