I have a very old, very mature Hippeastrum puniceum plant in a pot made up of large bulbs. It has never gone dormant and has bloomed like mad in the past (see photo). I would now like to dismantle this plant and put the bulbs in my suitcase to fly across the country I am leaving in less than a week and the foliage is green and healthy. A few questions:
Will the bulbs be okay if I cut the green foliage back when I take out the bulbs as I won't have time to let it die back naturally? And should I cut the roots off at the base and what would be the best way to transport them in my suitcase? Finally, when I replant them is any potting soil good?
Thanks!
