Use the forum search you can find the discussions where several forum members tried that a few years ago (maybe 10 yrs). It does work but you waste many grow points that hasn't developed enough to show on the corm. ... This is a good way to try to save a plant when the corm has root rot. And, I have been successful doing so with a couple of sick nana plants.



On each ring of sheath growth on the corm at the 'V' junction of joining sheaths there is a growth point. See the thread by louis14 First macro propagation attempt This way you can get many more plantlets from each corm. ... Also there is some evidence that cutting the grow point with an X will give multiple plantlets instead of one. This method has the possibility of producing 50 to more than 100 plantlets per each corm.
