I did try this on two bareroot, dormant corms of E. ventricosum this year. One eventually rotted, and the other was just dug up last week from its pot with lots of white roots. It tried to put up some pups, but they would only get a few millimeters high and then croak. I will try it on some actively growing plants with roots next time.
its inportint ans this aplies to all plants that you devid to propigat that after the devitions dont over water and make sure the pots are in good air movment one good thing about living in the desert is that we have alot of wind wich at werst is vary drying but at best permots helthy clean stems and leafs alot of your guys and gals that live in tropcal zones with cramped gardins dont realis that the air in and around your plants dosint move i say rool of thumb let there be as much space betwin pots as is posibal better to have to water oftin them to have a pot be water loged
