Crinum

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,
