I have seen that if you remove the growing point from hippeastrums that they will usually start to produce offsets, and often that will be many offsets. I thought: what would happen if i apply that to a seedling(bulb diametre is 2 cm), so, i tried that about two months ago, and the first one is already healed and rooted again, and sending something up, but it looks like a scape. It has the tip that looks like it is made out of 2 pieces, and it gets broader the deeper it is. I will keep you updated. If it is a scape this might be a fast method to induce flowering.
