It is possible to damage the growing point at the centre of the rosette by various brutal methods - but I'm rarely brave enough to do that. I prefer to leave such things to occur as they will - and then to make the most of the mishap. If you do decide to intentionally damage a growing point it's very important to give the damaged area time to callus over before allowing water onto the injury, otherwise rotting of the core can occur and you risk losing the whole plant. |

CC 2402 H. magnifica v. splendens - ALBERTINIA with offsets forming around the core of the plant who's growing point had been lost. Can you see the last remaining leaf of the old head? Originally grown from seed received from Mary Parisi and Ed Dunne and sown on 23/10/1995, this is the newer, more slender form. |

CC 912 H. emelyae - OUDTSHOORN [South] with offsets forming around the base of the plant when the core has been lost accidentally. You could damage the growing point intentionally in order to produce this effect - though I can't say I'd find that an easy thing to do to as lovely a variety as this one. The two original clones of this form were received from Raymond Dedeyne in June 1993 as seedlings ex Paul Schoeman plants. On 20/03/1998 I was able to produce seed to increase the breeding stock of this lovely form within the Cocozza Collection. |

One of the heads separated from the previous clump and perched high in the compost to keep the roots ticking over whilst the large cut area seals over. The clump in the previous
photo had been allowed to become thirsty and softened
before cutting it up to separate the offsets. |
