what is the chance that the original meristem is intact enough to still grow out? Would the parent plant still survive if you simply cut the 4 areas off of the main corm that has the "eyes" maybe an inch or so from the meristem?
Just a thought, cuz if you were going for more plants then keeping the parent would effectively mean keeping one more.
