I tried Perlite and two different grades of Vermiculite. The large particle Perlite and the coarse Vermiculite did not work. They dried out too easily. The fine particle Vermiculite worked very well on one variety that naturally produced bulbils. It did not work on another variety that did not produce bulbils. I also tried an experiment after the plants had bloomed. It worked on the bulbil producer leaf but the bulblets were extremely small after a month. About a quarter the size of those grown before the plant bloomed.<br />BillBill Bauer Savage, MNnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067366448046501446.post-24793463692327125822012-02-16T12:43:18.737-07:002012-02-16T12:43:18.737-07:00fantastic! it worked. got several wee bulblets tha...fantastic! it worked. got several wee bulblets that I can now propagate!

I just took a leaf that naturally fell off, a young tender leaf, very green, that naturally had a bulb at its base. Thanks for this article! good luck.Maria Wayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17431887668029692467noreply@blogger.com
