Default Re: Cut old Mother?

Haven't seen the research, but that has been my practice. As long as there are green leaves, and/or green pseudostem, I leave them alone. They are not using energy to grow leaves or fruit, so all the photosynthesis capability seems like it would have to benefit the corm and pups.
