There indeed is a growing point. It was a pup starting on the rotted corm. Here is another pic of what the growing point looked like today, and also a pic of where I have it now, potted up in some perlite

This is a great site filled with many helpful members.
Perlite is an interesting choice for substrate and I'm sure there are members here with much more experience with perlite than me. I've found perlite to have great aeration qualities but lousy for moisture retention and never spent much time working with it.
I've been working with clean sand since the 1960's and even though aeration qualities are poor with fine grains it improves as grain size is increased, while moisture retention is high with fine grains it's reduce as grain size is increased. So once I found a grain size that fit my growing style it made it easy to work with even smaller cuttings.
