Hello Gang;

I just tried this today,with a Plantain plant that was hurt during few days at 33f , i split the huge corm in 3 big chunks , honestly i could not identify the so called eyes ? are the eyes where the roots sprout out of ?

Anyways , so i cut it in 3 portions planted them in some good soil .
am i missing anything ? i have another corm i can practice on .
Very interesting .
Also is a Video available showing this practice ?
I planted the flat cut side face down & the Corm material facing up , Is that the proper way ?

Thanks Great Thread ... Love Science
