That's what I'm trying to figure out, Kylie.

I'm trying to borrow a camera this weekend to get some detail pics up ... maybe that would help to show what I'm asking about. So far, I've got the original Siam & 2 pups (or ?}. One of the small ones is big enough to say w/surety it's a greenie. The other small pup is a red, but w/the green stripes. It's the smallest, & still might not be showing it's final form though.

If they are pups, I'd leave them w/the original to get the corm/growth. I'm just not sure if that's the best option if they turn out to be separate (delayed) clones? If that were to be the case, I'd think that separating them while small enough to differentiate the root systems from each other would be better?

I dunno - ideas, opinions, experience would be most welcomed here!

I'm trying to get hold of a cousin that is in No.Cal. & has done a lotta cloning, albeit with carnivorous plants. Hopefully Craig can shed some light on clone development, & whether clones can have a lag rate. I hope!
