Twinscaling Nerine

Tom,
I found Hippaestrum works best when they are getting towards the end of dormancy, if that's any help.

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!
