If I used the phrase “tropical onion bulb” would anyone know what species of plant I was talking about? And how to keep them? I’ll post pics tomo of some that I have picked up.

August 28, 2008 at 9:49 pm #308778This is a picture of one of my biggest Crinum thianum that was over 5ft tall
This was grown to this size in an 18″ deep tank.
Ideally you only want the roots in the substrate for them to grow best, if any of the bulb itself is under the substrate they can start to rot and die
Crinum natans looks very similar but has crinkly edged leaves

August 29, 2008 at 8:50 pm #308859Would agree with Mad Duff – here’s mine laid out on he floor while I was rescaping a few months ago!
