Eucomis L’Her.

The Eucomis bulb is a key organ of this perennial plant, determining its flowering potential and cultivation parameters. Its size, measured in centimeters in diameter, serves as the primary indicator of the commercial quality of planting material.

In the reference 5 varieties crop Pineapple lily, where this is mentioned in the description.

The diameter of the bulb directly correlates with the intensity of plant development and the quality of the flower stalk: for high-quality flowering, large specimens with a diameter of 14 cm or more are preferred. Bulb size also determines the planting depth, which varies from 5 to 15 cm depending on growing conditions.

In Eucomis cultivation, the bulb acts as the primary tool for vegetative propagation through the separation of offsets. The crop is sensitive to waterlogging and low temperatures; therefore, in climate zones below USDA 7, bulbs must be lifted and stored in a cool, dry place during the dormancy period.
