How to propagate Tiger Eye Dieffenbachia

Bulb division propagation of Ornithogalum

Tiger eye evergreen is a bulbous flower and can be propagated by dividing the bulbs.

After a period of growth, the bulbs or corms underground of the Tiger Eye Evergreen will also grow. These bulbs or corms will grow many small corms around them, and these small corms can be used as materials for bulb division and propagation.

In August or September, dig out the underground corms of the Ornithogalum, remove the small balls growing on the corms, and plant them.

It should be noted that when the Tiger Eye Dieffenbachia is propagated by dividing the bulbs, it is best not to plant the small bulbs too deep, and when covering the soil, the soil should not be too thick, generally not more than twice the diameter of the bulb. If the removed bulbs need to be stored, the storage temperature should generally be kept at around 25°C, and they need to be stored in a dry and ventilated environment. In addition, for the Tiger Eye Dieffenbachia that is propagated by dividing bulbs, after growing for several years, many small bulbs will grow from the underground bulbs, and can be propagated by dividing bulbs again.

Seed propagation of Ornithogalum

Tiger eye evergreen can also be propagated by sowing. It usually takes a long time from sowing to flowering of Ornithogalum.

The seedlings of Ornithogalum generally need to be cultivated for about 3 or even 4 years before they can bloom, but the cultivation is relatively simple.
