Here is a goofy experiment that I ran in 2011.It works and I now use it each fall when I lift my Hippis. The only difference then and now is that I settled on two 100 watt bulbs and 120 degree temperature.

Redneck Amaryllis Experiment - Garden.org<https://garden.org/ideas/view/…>

I have been curious for some time about the ability of heat to treat and even kill virus. After I received some virused Amaryllis bulbs from suppliers, this seemed to be the ideal subject for a "redneck" experiment It's easy to spot an amaryllis with a virus as it will have light green streaks among ...

Supposedly heat treatment can clear viruses from plants. I've tried to
research that online, but it's hard to find specifics on how hot and how
long the treatment should be. It seems to me that with the advent of sous
vide cookers that can maintain precise temperatures for many hours, it ought
to be possible for a home grower to attempt this sort of treatment.

Has anyone on the list tried it? Any thoughts?

Hi,

It would be nice to believe as some people do:

that asprin could get rid of plant virus.

Thank you, Brian and Uli. The fruits from one plant are more brownish than
yellow and some are still a bit spongy. I broke open four of the driest and
found four black seeds, one per fruit. Is it okay to open the fruits that
are still a bit spongy or should I wait until they are completely hard?

I am in the Scottsdale, AZ area and it is much too hot now to plant these
outdoors and will be for another four months. I could sow the now ripe seed
indoors and mist daily - advisable? At what depth?

Really appreciate your input since I have no experience with this seed.

Pamela

1-1.5? ? deep works for me. That Depth seems to work for all scilla. I have had Success starting seed in September- March while living in Michigan. But seed from seed exchanges that hold seed for a long time with one distribution in mid winter don't seem to work for me.

I have heard of some people trying with Haemanthus bulbs but they have to
be soaked for a long time at high temperatures so that they are heated all
the way through. Many bulbs will often suffer from that high heat treatment
and many don't survive. They might have a better chance if they were in
tissue culture with more coddled conditions. The moral of the story is that
prevention is much easier than treatment.

I have grown plants of historic interest, given to me by various contacts,
which were heavily virused. These plants had been maintained for decades
and aspirin was one of the factors in keeping them alive. It had not cured
them of viruses, and infection did spread to other plants. I do not doubt
that a strong plant in good conditions may outgrow viruses, but having
viruses near to non virused plants in a collection is not a good idea. I
believe tissue culture from the miristem may also eliminate viruses, as
well as heat treatments
