Crinum

I concur. My understanding is that all growth originates at the basal plate.

I have never heard of one growing without the basal plate. In my experience
they rot.

Ebay seller sold 4 Super Ellen bulbs. A friend dug and shipped for hospitalized
seller.

3 were fine, 1 had basal plate cut off. Seller contends it will grow. I say it will
not, but will rot.

They are replacing it, still claiming it will grow. I have searched the net, but
found nothing definitive.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Hi,

Will crinum bulbs with the basal plate cut off live and grow - thrive?

I bought some and one was minus the plate.

Thank you,
