Sprekelia howardii

Why not twin-scale the bulb? This is standard technique for propagating
amaryllids and has a high success rate if done properly. Practise with an
ordinary S. formosissima first!

I have now one S. howardii bulb that blooms "faithfully" every year
(sometimes twice). I have not checked for offsets for about three
years, but I have found none in the past. Does anyone know of a way to
"encourage" this bulb to produce offsets?
