Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) Cuttings
Hippeastrum are also better known as the Christmas Amaryllis. It is a so-called tunicate bulb which can be propagated through a technique called dis-sectional cutting. Cuttings are easy to do indoors during the winter and the new bulbs will flower in less than two years. This article also provides growing information for the Hippeastrum so don't miss it. The techniques described for the Hippeastrum can also be used to propagate hyacinths, onions, tulips, and daffodils, among others.

Hybridizing Daffodils
The introductions and improvements in daffodils come from amateur hybridizers and not from commercial sources. The time and effort necessary to introduce a new variety makes it cost prohibited. Therefore, the propogation of daffodil cultivars are in the hands of the hobbist. It's one of those areas where the amateur can make a difference.

Lilies, do you want more ?
Lilies multiply very easily producing large clumps. If you have never wondered what the small white or pink pea-sized lumps were that you found in the soil after cutting back the brown stems in late fall, you may have come acros miniature lily bulbs... learn how to encourage, harvest and grow FREE lilies. In the process we will also explain how to tell real lilies from other plants borrowing their name, and illustrate the differences between Oriental lilies and Asiatic lilies. Finally we will go through the preferred propagation methods for each of them. Do you have enough free lilies ?
