Yes, using Bonsai akadama should work. Others have used it.

Hi Jim,
When we first heard that the IBS was closing its doors, we had the same
concerns that the gallery of many photos will be gone along with the
society. Mike Mace made contact with the then president to ask what will
happen to the gallery. He said that he was going to try and keep the
gallery online and has local copies of it and will try to get it going. I
don't think we got very far with trying to get it hosted on PBS. The
important thing to remember is that apart from a few rare species of
amaryllids, our wiki has much better representation, newer photos, and
better resolution. Pursuing the old IBS gallery is not an effort that the
PBS Wiki team can afford at the moment due to various issues including
negotiations, copyright, and time.
If you ever need to look up anything from the IBS, I would suggest using
the Way Back Machine as suggested in the other post.
Best,
Nhu

Dear PBS members and supporters,
I am very pleased to announce that as of December 22, 2014, the Pacific
Bulb Society is an incorporated entity! The PBS is now a corporation and
has protection from law as any other corporate entities. It doesn't in any
way change our way of operation and we continue to provide educational
material and facilitate exchange of material for members.
This is all thanks to the hard work and leadership of our brave Vice
President John Wickham and Treasurer Arnold Trachtenberg, so please send
them thanks and gratitude for making this happen. Whereas we have been
trying to do this for years without success, John forged ahead and see it
through. It is a long and arduous process, starting with revamping our
by-laws which John also took charge with the help of Pam Slate. Then the
incorporation letters and forms had to be drafted and filed with the right
entities, followed with more forms and payments. Thank you so much, John,
Arnold, and Pam! John is now in the process of applying for non-profit
status and we hope to get it approved in the next few months.
After 12 years, the PBS being led by fearless leaders with forward visions
that kept us current technologies and the commitment to take care of our
members, our society is stronger than ever and continues to gain
acknowledgements, support, and membership world-wide. There are still many
things that we can improve upon, and we could not do it without your help.
Please donate in your extra bulb seeds and bulbs (most get gobbled up so
you don't have to worry that no one will want them). If you have an
article, like to write something, or see something that would be nice to
feature in our newsletter, please send them along. The wiki continues to be
the great source of accumulated bulb knowledge and we always need help.
Consider donating a bit of your time, images or text to the collective
fundamental tome of modern bulb growing.
Happy official birthday to the PBS and happy growing,
Nhu Nguyen
PBS President

Before mailing pesticides via the US Postal Service I suggest asking a USPS
clerk how to do this legally:
http://pe.usps.com/text/pub52/pub52c3_023.htm
Spraying undersides of leaves with plain water or isopropyl alcohol every 3
days for 3 applications is sufficient in most cases, and far less toxic
than miticides.

Can I enter a vote to retain the page Zigadenus, please? I haven't
followed the name changes, but this genus is so familiar, at least to
Americans, that the apparent reversion to earlier names such as
Anticlea and Toxicoscordion will be very confusing. At the very
least, we should keep a "dummy" Zigadenus page (unless something is
still called that) directing people to the newly accepted synonyms.

Apparently, Zigadenus glaberrimus is still a Zigadenus according to the
Plant List.
http://theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/search/…
When I learned a few years ago that Z. elegans occurs all over north
America, into Canada and Alaska, I was very surprised. This makes it one of
the few bulb species with the most northern distribution?

Hi Everybody!
I have read the piece on Worsleys germination in pure pumice, but it is not
sold here in Portugal.
Do you think bonsai akadama would work?
Thanks and regards

Along that line, I am the "author" of several photographs in the Hippeastrum section of the IBS Gallery. The copyright of these is still mine. A few are of species that have become rather difficult to obtain. If someone with the time and talent will volunteer to help, I am quite willing to send these along (electronically, of course) to be added to the PBS Wiki. Let me know if you are interested.

Hello Fernando, I don't know what akadamia is, but I have had 100%
success growing 60 Worsleya from seed to 6 years old in pure perlite.. I
live in Australia so our climate might be similar in some ways... I had
lost about the same amount of seeds trying other methods including,
moisture spraying, water floating, & sandy seed raising mix, all of these
seeds rotted...
Perlite if you don't know it, is from memory, neutral, super-heated
pumice, average size is about 5-8mm diameter, but you can get crushed too,
crushed would hold too much moisture for your seeds I think.. It gives lots
of aeration like an orchid mix would, but is pure so seeds don't become
contaminated, & it holds a well distributed water table.
It is readily available online & on sites like eBay, it is so light it can
be easily posted internationally, so it might be worth you researching
this product.. It is pure white, & clean of all other material so should be
importable to you.
