If you like pregnant onions, look for the climbing onion (fun plant) bowiea volublis.

If you haven't yet repotted, you'd be surprised the number of bulbs growing under soil.

Two years ago, someone asked for a bulb. I had to unpot mom to retrieve a bulb. What I discovered was amazing. Numerous tiny bulblets inside the soil.

How wide is the pot your PO's is living?

Susan's right about Bowiea. It too devolops new bulblets.

Although PO's blooms are insignifant, I'm happy when they bloom. :) Toni

Anyway, the other day I received the volubilis "Nana" which looks very much like the picture you posted.

**Off topic** I got one of those variegated callisia fragrans from Ebay!!! Love it!
Susan

As long as the bulb is firm, no need to worry. Foliage comes and goes..

If you cut back the brown, grassy growth, new 'might/should' sprout.

Have pics?

You won the variegated Callisia!! Great. It's difficult winning, espeically from 'that' seller. Toni

Linda, very nice PO. I love the pot yours is planted in. Perfect size.

What's growing in the terrarium?

Here's a pic of my PO..should have taken it down, and trimmed brown tips..lol.
The brown stem off the right side was a flower.

I somehow came home with a stunning moonshine
sanseveira from Lowe's. Also I had to 'save'
a neighbor ladies dying pot of cacti that were
dried and yellow. It might be my eyes but I
swear after a few drinks of water it's starting
to green up. And now I find myself looking at
coleus!

I am sure DH would like to thank all of you
for giving me inspiration (ideas)! lol

It's too easy, online ordering is a click of a few buttons.

I must be tired..When you wrote, 'it might be my eyes but I swear after a few drinks....it started to green up.' LOL

My dh feels the same as yours...don't worry, he'll come around, get used to the idea. lol.

My PO has several bulbs, but Boweia has one.
No, I wouldn't remove bulb/s this time of year..I don't know how to remove bulb from Boweia anyway..mom and baby are closely attached.

PO bulbs grow inside soil, so there's no threat removing. Still, I'd wait until spring to plant seperately. Faster rooting, in spring.

Tell DH you're making the house look pretty. :) Toni

My PO is in a somewhat shallow pot, about 3 inches deep. It also has babies growing under the dirt also.

None of my baby PO ever seem to grow past the baby stage....they never grow roots or stems. I leave them on the mother til they fall off, but they just sit there doing nothing...I don't get it. I must be doing something wrong....

Think how healthy we all are!!! :)

FPT. You know, the baby bulbs in my PO pot don't grow much either. I think the reason is, 'if they're under/inside soil,' they don't get light..w/o light, very few plants grow.

When I bought my PO, all that was sent was a tiny bulb, 'same size as those in soil, under 1-inch.' I thought, what's this?? lol
If they're seperated and placed in their own pot/s, in sun, they will get bigger, in time. It took years before my bulb resembed a bulb..

I never rooted a PO bulb, so don't know how it's done..maybe set one in soil, right-side-up??

I have always just set them on the soil and let them grow..
I have given so many away, theres a lot out there...
I have to admit that since hubby and I no longer smoke the house is cleaner and fresher andmy plants do grow alot better, so I guess its healthier all arround.....linda

BTW the pot of old dried up cacti from an neighbor
have perked up...after a drink or two of water.
They are turning green and have 5 flowers that
should open soon. I should have taken pictures
before I gave it a drink and added fresh soil.
The whole pot of cacti were yellow-brown and
shriveled up. I think it was pirate_girl who
wrote wait before throwing it out. I had wanted
to dump out the whole bunch of cacti to use
the amazing clay pot for a large collection
of succulents. Glad I waited.

How long do they take to root? Will they slow down now that daylight is shorter?
You will soon have a zillion PO's..lol.

How long have you been without a cig?

Enter..What type of Cactus do you have? Toni
