H. petiolatum (?) offsets
I have a bulb that was labeled as H. stylosum. However, when it bloomed it was definitely was something else. The small (2") flowers were on a short scape (6" or so). They looked like either H. curitibanum or H. petiolatum. I think it is probably the latter because it produces a LOT of offsets, and I have another clone that produces quite a few as well. They grow in between the papery dry tunics covering the outside of the bulb, and are then shed into the pot. They are not connected to the basal plate or any leaves. With some gentle digging, I found more towards the base of the bulb. Back in February I removed 24 of these offsets, which are shown in the picture. The problem is, I don't know how to get them to start growing. I placed them in moist pine bark dust and placed them in indirect light. After 4 months of not seeing any growth I pulled them out to make room for something else. The strange thing about these offsets is that they didn't decrease in size notably. My species bulbs that need a dry dormancy shrank quite a bit over the same time period. So basically I was wondering if anyone here has this species or has seen offsets like this, and how to get them to grow. If anyone wants to try to grow them I'd be happy to mail a few of them since I have more than I know what to do with!
