Hi, i want to sacrifice one of my amaryllis bulbs and cut the bulb into pieces so eventually there will be bulblets forming how do i do this? I would really want to increase my amaryllis stock of bulbs.

I say go for it, nothing ventured nothing gained. The first link below has the best discussion about how to do it. The other two have pictures. Good luck.

Reply:You get more bulbs from your large bulbs growing little "bulblets" from the base. You can gently pull the babies off when they form, after they've gained a little size.





But slicing up an existing bulb will only kill it.





If your current bulbs are happy and growing, you should get babies soon. Just have patience.
