Back bulb sucess Whoo hoo a new chid

[johnblagg]

I was repotting a lc haw yaun 'angel' and it had several old back bulbs that were very shriveled and had no good roots left so I decided to remove them.Having no eyes and having read about laying them on the bench to see if they would produce new growths from the old eyes I mixed up some Iba I have on hand that is very very high strenght for rooting hard to root woody plants with a dab of vegatable shortning and dabbed it on the old eyes.
I now have two new leads emerging that are about 1/8 to 1/4 of a inch long.did nothing special other than lay in a spot that stayed wetter where water liked to make a small puddle to keep them good and hydrated and soak them every day in a bucket for a few minutes.Three smal back bulbs and got two new leads ...not bad.No roots yet and still iffy as to a sucessfull end result but for just two weeks exciting results.
