    I have acquired a number of Furcraea bulbils with the intention of growing them into plants. I have pressed them into potting compost to a depth of 1cm. and will be keeping this dampish. Am I doing the right thing? Should they have heat from a propagator?

    Thanks very much for posting. I am 90% sure that I have furcraea longaeva bulbils, but I shall use bottom heat in any case.
