Re: bulbifer bulb


Hiyer, Susan!

 

I let mine air dry for a day, then I dust them with cinnamon, place them in egg cartons, and store them in a plastic box. If I put them on the shelf they do shrivel. If you want to leave them in the soil, they should be either in a greenhouse, or set the pot on a tray full of damp sand.

 

At the University greenhouse, A. bulbifer is a weed, dropping bulbils all over, which come up in pots that they are not supposed to be in.

 

Good luck,

Christopher

I'm glad this is so easy for everyone (else).  I do have to chime in and say I've never been able to grow one from a bulbil, although I try every year- if I store dry they shrivel up and disappear before spring.  If I put them in dirt, the same thing...
