Hi Josh, I have similar problem with my Griffinia, I was so mad that each night
I went out with flash light and search for the slug and dump them in the trash
can. Luckily, the bulb still intact and leaves always come back.

Subject: [pbs] All My Hippeastrum Seedlings Were Devoured!
Hi Guys,
So this morning I awoke to see that several of my pots of Hippeastrum
seedlings had been a midnight snack for several caterpillars. I hope they
enjoyed their hamdonii sandwhich with a side of psittacinum puddingand a large
diet calyptra-cola!
Seriously tho, they ate all the seedlings to the ground, I had several
gallon pots with maybe 15 or more seedlings in each, how can I keep this from
happening again without jeopardizing the seedlings themselves? I had aulicum,
blossfeldiae, calyptratum, cybister, mandonii, morelianum, glaucescens and
psittacinum and all are gone.
Thanks
Josh
