Crinum
Randall P. Linke (Sat, 28 Jul 2018 21:05:13 PDT)

Bulb cuttings, with a portion of the basal plate, is a way to relatively
quickly produce a large (depending on the species) number of clonal
propogars from a bulb. The resulting plants will flower about the same
time, sometimes a year sooner, than seed grown plants.

The advantage, from the nursery trade perspective, is that all the plants
are clones that will be identical to the parent.

Basal plate in a bulb is the equivalent of the stem in other plants.
Planting leaves (the bulb) may work as a way of propagating, but I would
not thing it a way to get a good flowering plant quickly. But I am no
Crinum expert.

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,
