I found out last year if you really do a chop job on a pup and it has a lot of white at the bottom, but not the actual corm--it is possible to root it in the waterfall/stream of my fish pond in the summer. I saved lots of bordelon and basjoo pups that I cut off badly that way. It only works if you have some of the white or pinkish part at the bottom though. It takes about a week for them to grow a root and then if you leave them longer they will grow 2-3 and that's when I pot them up.
