I was just thinking that
because crinum roots can divide
for example Crocus and Hyacinth roots don't divide as far as I know
I will give it a test this summer

Mostly, once the first root coming out of a Crinum seed is broken, that's
the end for that seed.  Very rarely, I've seen crinum seeds with two
shoots, and I believe (but have not dissected to see) that this is because
there were two embryos in that seed.
