Schizobasis Intricata is a native to the southern and eastern regions of Africa. Similar in growth pattern to Bowiea Volubilis.
This plant forms an above ground bulb to around 6cm in diameter and has thin branching stem to a height if around 50cm
Usually a summer grower, with a dormant winter period, the stem will not die back if watering is continued year round.
Altitude range: 250 - 3540 metres above sea level.
There is no pretreatment of the seeds required.
The sowing takes place in plastic pots. The substrate used is either commercial cat litter on a mineral basis (no lumping litter), perlite or pumice (germ-free). Distribute the seeds evenly on the substrate. Cover larger seeds sparingly with substrate, fine seeds may remain on the surface.
Then put the plastic pot in a ziplock bag - with a pot size of 6 cm we recommend a ziplock bag of size 120 x 170 mm. Put enough tap water in the ziplock bag with a few drops of universal fertilizer so that a few millimeters of water remain after the substrate has been absorbed. Then close the ziplock bag airtight - done!
Further watering is not required as moisture does not evaporate through the squeeze bag.
Location: partially shady on the windowsill or in a miniature greenhouse, during the day the temperatures should be around 23 - 28 C, at night a little lower at 20 - 22 C. The microclimate created creates ideal germination conditions.
