Pinellia cordata "bulblets"
|
From: Don Martinson <dmartin at post.its.mcw.edu> on 1998.07.22 at 18:48:08(2501)
While growing some seedlings of Pinellia cordata, I noted them developing
some "bulblets" in the upper notch of the leaf, where the petiole attaches.
I was unaware that they did this. Will they do this in succeeding years as
the leaves increase in size and how should these bulblets be propagated?

Thanks.

I don't know if this is the "approved" method but 2 weeks ago I was
given 1 bulblet to try and I set it just barely into the surface of
some moist promix in a pot outside in shade and it now has a small
sprout. I just went outside and checked again and no roots have formed
yet but the sprout is about 2mm now.

This is very common and they should produce them every year. I once read that
the bulblets have a hook on the top that catches in the fur of small animals
which disperses the plant. Can't guarantee that story is true. Press them in
soil in a damp, shady spot and they should do fine.
