Twinscaling Nerine

Tom:
It should work just the same. I remember on a visit to Holland being
shown Nerines that had been "parted" i.e. cut into longitudinal
segments like narcissus. My guess is the best time would be late MAY-
EARLY July like Narcissus.

Does anyone here have experience twinscaling Nerine? Like many others
I've used the technique successfully on Galanthus and Narcissus but
am unsure whether to use the same protocol with Nerine. In
particular, I'd love advice on the best time of year to chop up the
bulbs and the best incubation method to use. I'm most interested in
working with N.bowdenii, which obviously has large bulbs compared
with most Nerine species, perhaps making cross-cutting of the basal
plate a better plan? Advice appreciated!
