Default Re: Should I Remove This Pup?

Quote:
Just so I'm clear, I assume I should wait until I harvest the mother plant before I take some mass off the corm? Or, are you suggesting I do this now/soon?
If you were to take divisions that small, I think having a section of the corm will help ensure its success since it will have a battery of starch to feed the new pup.

The mother plant will regenerate its corm with no problem since it is much larger, and sometimes injuring it can promote even more pups.
