Stressed out Chico creating offsets

10 years ago

I founds a misplaced Chico bulb that I had purchased in November 2014. The poor, neglected bulb must want to live... it hasn't lost much size (for how long it's been languishing) and it has three brand new offsets on the basal plate! I'll be potting it up tonight, if time allows. I'm not very camera or tech savvy, but I'll post a photo, if I can.

I had a H. Sumatra that I had left in the paper bag in the fridge for over a year. When I found it, it had 13 offsets!!

*phew* I'm in good company with neglecting my bulb! 13 offsets... that is crazy! Did they grow on to produce a pot full of bulbs? -Tina

Yep....grew well. I pulled some offsets off (they actually fell off!) and repotted them. The mother bulb and attached offsets are growing well.
