A. ringens
I purchased 3 Ringens from Edrom Nurseries and one had 3 fairly mature looking offsets. Before I read that an expert stated not to snap off offsets I went ahead and did it to the 3 on 4 February 2021. They also stated that it could take a season for the offset to adjust to life away from the parent. I left the offsets for a couple of days to callous over. I just checked the offsets on 27 March 2021. The one on the right was in moist vermiculite in a sealed bag, the ones below were placed in Humax compost. To my joy all 3 were growing. You can just see the shoots appearing in the centre of the pots.
Happy days.
