Hello and Propagate Neomarica
Ronald Redding (Thu, 06 Oct 2005 01:28:15 PDT)

Hi everyone,

My name is Ron Redding and I have been on a bulb collection rampage for
nearly seven years. I have a very recent experience with "Walking Iris" or
neomarica sp that form plantlets on the scape after flowering. I cut off and
potted 30 plants six months ago in a "standard" potting mix and also staked
down some plantlets. I used no hormone and did not wait for roots to form,
I now have thirty flowering potted plants and another large bunch of plants
in my garden bed. I have found that these plants have an amazing will to
live all by themselves and don't really need any help in my part of the
world. I live in the sub-tropics in Hervey Bay in Queensland, Australia and
have a collection of warm climate bulbs and broms that I am very proud off,
however I still have a large wish list and the more I learn to more there
is.

Kind Regards
Ron

Dear Mr. Sterman;

In species that form plantlets on the scape, root them by pinning them
down, while still attached to the parent plant, in a pot of soil, which
should be a sandy-loamy mix. Grow on until a good root system is formed,
then plant out. do not over water, keep moist. Cheers, John E. Bryan

Can anyone give me instructions for propagating Neomarica from the
plantlets that form at the tips of flowering stalks?

Thanks
