New plants sprout from the bulbils or parts of them. Hence the reason for distinction between bulbs and bulbils. Mixed with the flowers are a number of purple bulbils. Vascular plants have many other methods of asexual reproduction including bulbils and turions. Home propagation is best performed by using offset bulbils. Mixed with the flowers are several of yellowish-brown bulbils. The species is propagated from tubers as well as small axillary bulbils. In the leaf axils appear warty rounded bulbils under 2 centimeters long. The lower ones are replaced by bulbils. A perennial, it reproduces by its seeds and bulbils. Three main methods are used for propagating "Hippeastrum"&colon; seeds, bulbils and 'twin scales'. The primary means of spread and reproduction are by the bulbils. The bulbs form multiple leaf-bearing bulbils that soon separate but remain close by. Similar bulbils are also found in "Davidii". These bulbils arise in the axils of the scale leaves.
