If you pot it now make sure the pot is VERY small. it will be a while yet before it makes a rhizome to start a new plant. it’s going to be a leaf for a looooong time

wait I just zoomed…..IS that a tiny rhizome?? still make sure the pot is small!

Agree that it will be a very looong time! I have a prop that has been in soil for about 1 year now…… and I am still waiting it to push out new growth…… 😔
