Suckers-Pups

16 years ago

One of my plants that just finished blooming has two suckers or pups. When should these be removed to be grown to adult?

How do you post pictures here?

Do the offsets have leaves? As long as they have their own roots you can separate them.

As far as posting photos, many of us use Photobucket and you paste the entire link (3rd option down) into your message and the photo magically appears!! You'll see it when you preview the message. Check the FAQ, there might be something there about posting photos!!

Good luck...you've just tripled your bulbs!!

If you take them off chances are high that the plant will grow new ones, that's why I'd let them stay on. Hippeastrum bulbs can grow into clusters made from offsets.
