Thread OP

I believe this can be used as am option as well. Is there any information/advice on this method please? I'm trying the floation method which I have tried before but failed following planting so now I'm trying both methods if possible to see which method works best for me. I would appreciate any help you can offer as I'm truing to eventually have as many different colours of hippeastrum as is possible for me to assuage my love for them. I live in Queensland, Australia.

Welcome! I always float mine. Every now and then they turn soft though and do not germinate. But I have a much higher germination rate when I float them.
