I removed its first pup around 4th of July on the opposite side of the plant. I am just hoping it regrew itself in the past two months to sustain this pup I just removed. Although the corm was very big and the mother psudostem was at least the width of my leg lol I am still a bit nervous and hope I dont loose my biggest plant in my garden. Should I not really worry?
