I often see recommendations on the Internet for rooting hippeastrums in water. And as a hippea grower with a large collection, I understand what the consequences can be in the form of rot in the bottom, but naturally I didn’t want to conduct an experiment with my own to show this. I feel sorry even for grandma’s plants like striatum, even if there are a huge number of them in the collection. After all, they are alive. And then we ended up in a gardening store, where hippeas were standing in a tray for seedlings, 2 cm from the height of the bulb, placed in water. Of course, the roots grew luxuriously from this, but at what cost? Since I absolutely did not want to mess around with obvious candidates for the trash can, after all, 10 euros per bulb is not a price that you can throw around. Therefore, I chose the strongest and healthiest looking bulbs. But as I expected, inside... and what’s inside, look. And think about what will happen to the rest that remained in the store, in the water... I want to remind you that there is a group on Facebook where you can read about the correct agricultural technology for growing hippeastrums https://www.facebook.com/groups/13513...
