More lotus deviding ....... Growing TIPS questions....

[tinkster]

I have one more person that is wanting lotus that I havent been able to supply to yet.  I have a bunch of these type tips left.. are they viable even though the two growing tips are coming from the same   spot???  I wanted to post this and the picture of what I have left and they can read your comments and decide if they want to try them or not

thanks for any info!

Tink,

To be viable, each growing tip needs at a minimum of two tuber sections to guarantee survival.  The number of growing tips included is immaterial as long as there is at least one.

I have seen pics from my plant books showing them planting those....I always done as John said--include at least 2....so maybe send them 2 of these as a just incase...hopefully one of the two will make it....

thanks yall!  Its a good thing I put 4 and 5 tubers in each box I just shipped, hehehe wanted to get rid of them quick .  Some I know had fat fat TUBER not tubers  with both ends having 2 and 3 growing tips  and I thought they were the bestest   I almost broke all the tubers into one tuber to cut down on shipping size as they all had so many tips, sure glad I didnt do that!
