Cycd. Chiriqui , strange stuff
I was looking at Cycd. Chiriqui , and it has a growth with roots starting 8 inches up in the air. Also there was a what I thought was a tiny back bulb at the base of the plant. I was thinking of laying the big bulb with the high shoot on it's side in moss and letting gravity sort out the growth and seeing if other new growths started along the length
of the bulb . Maybe getting two or three to separate next year. In order to lay it down I'd have to remove the other two bulbs . So I gave the bulbs a little tug and the tiny back bulb turns out to be a tiny new plant with a small growth starting. It's small and fat , never been part of the other two bulbs. Could it be a late developing seed ?
And would laying the long bulb down be a good idea ?
Anyone seen growths starting way up the bulb before and how did they deal with it ?
The full name on the label is Cycd. Chiriqui
