Propagating Tuberose Bulbs

Propagation of tuberose is by offsets. From North Carolina southward, small sets will make large flowering bulbs in one season; northward it requires two seasons.

The ground is prepared as for a crop of potatoes. Planting is done in drills 30 inches apart, the sets being placed 4 inches apart, 3 inches below the surface. The crop must be cultivated constantly. After frost, the bulbs are lifted, their tops cut to within two inches of the bulb, and they are then placed on shelves or in trays to remain four to eight weeks to dry or cure. On a small scale the roots may be tied in bunches and hung upon rafters to dry.
