# Just here to prove that not all peat pods are death plugs! I decided…

_Posted by Steph on 2023-09-27_

Just here to prove that not all peat pods are death plugs! I decided to repot my polly into a chunkier mix and noticed it had the so called "death plug" aka peat pod seed starter. And while not many roots were growing in it, it was home to 6 baby corms 🥰. The remaining two corms were off of the main healthy root system. Now I suspect the manner in which corms grow allowed for this plug not to restrict root growth or encourage root rot, but that's just my speculation. Fingers crossed these babies do their thing! 🤞🏽 happy planting 🌱
