Re: Experimenting with creating filtered coarse sand for corms

My drainage holes were a big part of the problem. I used a 1/4 drill bit, and drilled dozens of holes, but they were just too small, and with resting on the ground, clogged up. I was totally fooled...

Re: Experimenting with creating filtered coarse sand for corms

How much drainage did you have in those whiskey barrels? A lot of people (including myself in past years) drill 3 or 4 holes and consider that enough. Drainage holes are not only for drainage of...

Re: What's the best propagation method for this situation?

Re: What's the best propagation method for this situation?

I'm basically doing this how you posted except with a slight variation.

Letting the Gen 1 Plant power the Gen 2 Plant works great as you stated.

This method allows me to remove the Gen 2 Plant and...

Re: What's the best propagation method for this situation?

It is.




Yeah, making that nicely variegated pup the dominate pup was the first thing I did.

Usually when starting with a slightly variegated mother plant getting one nicely variegated pup is rare...

Re: What's the best propagation method for this situation?

I assume it would be an in ground plant. I do not know if this would be the best way but it is the one I have used successfully before. I would cut off the mother plant near soil level and then kill...

The river stuff is the most coarse, but appears to be the closest to PR-Giants sand? That stuff went through my 1/4 inch mesh. I have put some coins in pics, as a lot of times when looking at...
