Propagating Bulb plants

[Zachary Brown]

So i was just wondering while im sitting here in math class if anyone could lend  hand on this. About a month ago i bought an Apontageton Bonivienas, at least i think thats how its spelled. Anyway i was wondering if anyone knew how to propagate these plants, and also big daddy cory if your reading this do you have plans to ship them like the tiger lily?

In the past my Aponogeton plants have flowered and produces fertile seeds. It was a slow but very effective manner of propagation.

I've read that you can fertilize the blossoms by rubbing two blossoms together or use a paint brush to pollinate them.

[Daniel]

Yes, I think that works. As long as pollen can get from the anthers to stigma on the pistil (kind a looks like a little vase with a pointy end), then the magic happens.

Many plants can’t self fertilize, but lucky for us lots of Aponogetons can.

Some aponogetons go through dry seasons where the plant dies back and needs to rest, so don't freak out if that happens and pitch the bulb.
