Thanks to what I've learned from PR-Giants and my own experiment found here -> Check out this Truly Tiny growth node
Here's my latest venture

I wanted to give 1 of my 2 Florida's to my mother and also wanted to revamp the planting location so this was the perfect opportunity to dig them up completely, clean and inspect the rhizomes and remove any growth nodes.

To my amazement there were way more than I expected.





The biggest one was the size of a tennis ball so can that even be considered just a node anymore?



Here's a 7th one and the smallest one I removed. Similar size to the Truly Tiny node in my other thread. Big root still attached too.



Both rhizomes had plenty of growth nodes left but I left them on due to not having a distinguishable bulb yet.



After I removed the nodes. Big rhizomes too... super happy



My mother holding the Florida I gave her.



Just over 2 weeks ago I carefully removed a growth node while it was still in the ground. It had no roots. This is it now.



My Florida in its new raised bed home. Fresh compost.
Going to add dedicated shade nets soon.




Thanks Sensei PR-Giants for the knowledge and wisdom.
