Sometimes, you have to cut almost under the mother corm to get a piece of corm with roots. I made a bad cut on my Mysore and was heartbroken. I thought for sure I had gotten under the mom enough, but...no... just a clean cut through the P-stem. From now on, I'll be digging the soil to see the attachment point before I make my cut...
