_Posted by Violette on 2026-07-05_

What method of transplanting will have the highest success rate? I used to have two separate corms with leaves but this is the only one that made it after some problems with mealy bugs and root rot. I’d hate to have this one die after it’s made it this far! 😓

I would wait till it has secondary roots, the leaf most likely will die but that is normal as the plant can’t grow the leaf and roots at the same time , it may take a bit to produce a new leaf.

What are secondary roots?

Basically when those two split roots grow offshoot roots
