In Ed McRae's book, he writes that planting Lilium henryi bulbs on their side will stimulate stem bulblet production. Is this just because they would need to travel slightly further to get to the surface, thus creating more opportunities for the stem to root and form bulblets? I am curious to know if this technique would work for other lilies that produce stem bulblets as well. Has anyone ever tried it?
