Jen, After flowering, chop the mother plant to the ground. The babies (pups) are it's offspring and will eventually grow up and flower like mom did. You can-A. Separate the pups and have individuals to spread around, or-B. Leave them alone and they will grow in a group. This is called a mat, various nana's growing off of one corm(root ball). If you decide option A, those nana's will eventually sprout pups and form there own mat. It's just a continual process. Nana grows, Nana pups, nana flowers and dies. Pup grows big, produces pups,flowers and dies. Repeat. Hope this helps-Nate
