Instead of tossing this
 

Instead of tossing this slightly variegated dwarf namwa it was cleaned and potted for propagation.

Send it here and I'll take good care of it! :)

I used to leave any roots I could save on my corms until you showed us that you clean them to propagate. Do you use any fungicide at all?

Re: Instead of tossing this
 

The use of a fungicide is really dependent on what I'm trying to accomplish but in this situation I'll be using a pure sulfur powder to promote plant callus on all freshly exposed corm tissue. But when I'm using the plant callus as the propagation material I don't use a fungicide.

Looking good mate, mine are all still sleeping and trying to survive the winter, I've notice a couple of casualties already sadly.

Re: Instead of tossing this
 

I just got lucky and found a nicely variegated namwa in the horse's area. I toss all the unwanted rhizomes in there because they love eating the leaves and eventually all the plants will die so it's a win win. It's fairly common for an all green offshoot from a variegated mother plant to produce a variegated offshoot. I wouldn't waste time propagating these all green plants but collecting the feral variegated ones is worth it.
