Default First time digging up water suckers and



I was really surprised at the roots they had developed. Even the tiny one to the right had a few solid roots, not sure if it had much corm at the base of the bulb but we’ll see since I potted all 3 up. The largest one has a huge chunk of corm off to the side and tons of roots so it should do well.

I used a drain spade and that was incredibly helpful. I dug up two pups about a month ago on a different dwarf cavendish with a standard spade and I sliced them too shallow , missed roots and corm.. I also buried a dead rat my daughter found in the hole where the pups were and sprinkled fertilizer lol.
