Roosterlorn said:Tropical Isle scale bulblets, 7 weeks out of incubation. 3 scales, 9 bulblets in this pot. 3 other scales of the same batch produced no bulblets at the end of the regular incubation period. Those were put in a chill for about 4 weeks and restarted in a new incubation period. A couple tiny incisions were made across the original callous on the 3 remaining scales. Not sure it'll work, but I gave it a try anyway . I should mention the mother bulb is a clone of the original de Graaff Tropical Isle.

Well, here's the latest update/status of those 3 remaining scales THAT DID NOT PRODUCE scales the first 'go-round'. As you can see, after re- prepping and re-incubating, THEY PRODUCED a quite a few tiny bulblets. You can tell by the size of the tiny leaves the bulblets are really tiny and will need to grow a lot before seasons end. But, I was frankly quite surprised just to get what I did, to be honest ( I got lucky) Photos taken yesterday, May, 25th, 2015.
