Am. albus offset care

From: Ken Mosher ken at spatulacity.com> on 2005.10.09 at 19:42:56(13414) In past years I've left my Am. albus offsets attached to the tubers until I planted them, but this year that turns out to be somewhat inconvenient. Do these thin, snaky offsets have a good survival rate if separated from the mother tuber after harvesting or will a large percentage of them dessicate (when stored in a paper bag)?

I think you can try it and won't lose much.

From: Ronmchatton at aol.com on 2005.10.27 at 12:31:11(13465) Ken: For years I removed all of mine and stored them that way with little loss. I find that more of them actually sprout that way than leaving them attached to the parent corm.

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" hetter at xs4all.nl> on 2005.10.27 at 16:29:59(13466) The trick is not to let them sit on the parent tuber when it is replanted. They must be removed just prior to planting. That is the best strategy.

From: bonaventure at optonline.net on 2005.10.28 at 04:24:12(13469) Ken, I've found that if these stoloniferous offsets break off easily or accidentally, if stored dry and well wrapped in paper the natural humidity around them will get them through.
