Your plant looks normal, just incredibly root bound. I would recommend replanting the whole plant in a bigger pot or possibly even separating the tubers and planting them in individual pots. I hope this helps!

Thank you so much ! I’ll try that

Yea very normal. I cleaned mine up that I inherited when I bought my house and collected all the bulbs without a plant (rhizomes?) and replanted them and at least 3 that have made pretty robust babies at this point. I would separate it

So I can plant the bulbs that don’t have any leaves attached to them ? Is there a specific kind of soil for this plant ?
