    Default Back bulb success

    I've repotted a NOID about 2 months ago since it was crawling out of the pot. It had 2 back bulbs that were a little ugly so I decided to chop them off and figured it wouldn't harm anyone to keep them a little longer and see if they had any dormant eyes. One of them started to get yellow and mushy so it went into the trash. At that point I checked the second one to see if there were any dormant eyes, when I was checking I damaged the only eye I could find so I wasn't too hopeful. It looks like it had another eye somewhere because this is was I saw peeking out of the medium.

    I guess the message is that if it's not completely rotted and dead there is always a chance!!
