Hello fellow hippeastrum lovers,
I mentioned sometime ago I had a Nagano bulb which was poorly. After digging it out and further inspection I noticed red/rusty spots literary eating out holes in the bulbs layers, soft bruising and red veins on the roots which caused them to go soft and die, also there was one small offspring which went red-ish covered with green mold.
I decided to surgically take of the infected layers on the bulb, with small tiny scissors I took out 3 layers till I reached a healthy one, also I cut of most of the roots which were infected, and the offspring had to go.
The old soil went to ecological waste bin, as I'm not going to re-use it in case it might infect other plants. The bulb for today will be in a warm place till it dries out.
Also since I'm on good terms with the garden centre I'm going to inform them of the situation and suggest a full inspection on the bulbs just in case.
Please can you advise me what might this be? Is it a virus, or a bacteria?
Thank you kindly
Robert
