I have the dwarf not a super dwarf growing in a container. It is putting out lots of suckers. To me they all look like the type that are supposed to grow when you transplant them. The first two only had two or three root's, the second one for sure had a piece of the corm and they both died. The third one came out with more roots and a piece of the corm. The first two I kept the soil moist, but I watched a video before the third one that said not to water them until they start to grow. But apparently that's not working either. It has been in the pot for at least a week and it is not growing and leaves are starting to curl up. What am I doing wrong?

Go to a hydroponic store and get a small container of "Great White" dip the root area in water and dust the roots over the pot so that any excess will fall in the pot. Stuff is kind of expensive so don't waste any. Stuff is like steroids for roots
I love the stuff. Wish I could find a cheap alternative

Save your money! Mix a good 40-50% coarse sand with your soil and add some composted manure or compost. I successfully rooted more than 50 pups in the last month with that mix. Water regularly. And add your location to your profile.

wait till they get to be at least a foot tall before you take them off. They do better if they're bigger. you're prob taking them off too soon
