mine have never made leptomorph rhizomes usually just a pup off the end but they can be as far as 6 feet away. that one in the picture was under ground hit somthing and surfaced then went back down. I think that plant is 8 or 9 years old which is why the rhizome is so thick but you can expect pups a good bit away from the mom.
