So, my h. misty was infested with larvae that were eating inside the bulb, I hvae tried other methods in the past but they never worked for me, so i used my own judgement and i cut the bulb in 4 pieces leaving the basal plate exposed, i dipped it in peroxide and alcohol, and then I put rooting hormone on the basal plate, this was back in august 26th I think or before and I see some roots appearing and i think little bulblets are growing, the reason i think succeeded was because i did not moisten the vermiculite, the bulb pieces half a little bit of fungal attack but they are still working! I may have a little bit of bulbs soon! :)
