I just separated some pups from my Gran Nain and they grew really close to the mother plant. I don't think I got any corn from the main plant even though I tried to cut toward the main plant at an angle. Basically no roots so I dusted some root hormone on the edge that was cut from the mother, planted them and put them in the shade. Now I am hoping for the best.
I also separated pups from my plant from Costco that I think is California Gold although I am not sure but here the pups definitely grew a little further from the mother plant. However even here I doubt if I got corm from more than one of the pups. Although two out of three here at least had some roots.
Did the same, dusted with root hormone, planted them in potting soil and put them in the shade.
What did I do wrong and do you think they will survive anyway? I am hoping to keep these in my garage over winter and plant next year in case the main plants don't survive the winter.
Thanks
