Soaking bulbs is not necessary. Fall bulbs should be planted as soon as the ground is cool usually, when the evening temperatures are constant between 40 to 50 degrees.
Small bulbs can develop or propagate a large bulb. If one or several moderate-sized bulbs form to replace the original bulb, they are called renewal bulbs. [7] Increase bulbs are small bulbs that develop either on each of the leaves inside a bulb, or else on the end of small underground stems connected to the original bulb. [7]
The bulbs are produced to satisfy the demand for bulbs for parks, gardens and as house plants, in addition to providing the bulbs necessary for the production of cut flowers. The international trade in cut flowers has a worldwide value of approximately 11,000 million Euros, which gives an idea of the economic importance of this activity.
Bulbils on Agave vilmoriniana Paleoallium billgenseli bulbil with flowers. Within Agavoideae, bulbils develop on the inflorescence of a blooming plant. [3] [2] [4] The development of bulbils in this group is common in approximately 17 Agave species, all Furcraea species, and has been somewhat documented in Yucca (particularly Yucca elata), and Hesperaloe. [2]
Flowering plant bulbs are planted beneath the surface of the earth. The bulbs need some exposure to cold temperatures for 12 to 14 weeks in order to bloom. [1] Flower bulbs are generally planted in the fall in colder climates. The bulbs go dormant in the winter but they continue to absorb water and nutrients from the soil and they develop roots ...

O. umbellatum is a perennial herbaceous bulbous plant , dying back after flowering, to an underground storage bulb. The following year, it regrows from the often shallow rooted bulbs, which are ovoid with a membranous coat, [2] 15–25 millimetres (1 ⁄ 2 –1 inch) long and 18–32 mm (3 ⁄ 4 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) in diameter.
Hyacinthus grows from bulbs, each producing around four to six narrow untoothed leaves and one to three spikes or racemes of flowers. In the wild species, the flowers are widely spaced, with as few as two per raceme in H. litwinovii and typically six to eight in H. orientalis which grows to a height of 15–20 cm (6–8 in).
