Hello Group,

I have a question about twin scaling Hippeastrum. After following a

procedure by RHS and IBS, using Cleary's 3336F on the scales, in

perlite, I'm noticing an even pink coloration on the scales. I think,

damnable Stagonospora... yet I used Bonomyl (Benlate sub) for soaking the

prior to storage, Bleach (1:10) prior to cuttage, and 3336F for the final

alcohol rinsed surfaces and sterile razors. Do Hippeastrum show red or

as a form or oxidation to damaged cells or is my culture simply

Any remedies?

OH... I just joined the list. I'm Michael Loos, Cleveland,
Ohio-ly-mackerel-it's-cold. I grow all sorts of geophytes including

fat - in and out of the ground. I've lots and ones and twos (3's-4's) of

species, but heavy on the genera of Hippeastrum and Euphorbia. Presently,

building my species list of Hippeastrum. (Anyone with species Hipps for

or trade, please feel free to contact me.)

Thanks for the information,
Grow Well,
Michael Loos
