Dreading and being curious about my Peacock may have the same fate as the Celebration (rot!), I repotted it (in soil) this afternoon. Again, the mother bulb shrunk, but the baby appears to have grown to a small bulb itself as not visible when arrived 113 days ago. Some old roots rot away and the bottom a bit wet also. However, all new roots look healthy and strong. Unfortunately the mother bulb lost one big leaf during the process (my fault?) and the baby lost one of its two leaves a while ago. I find many of mother's leaves all twisted up during blooming period. Now they either press on others or twisted itself up. Not a pretty nice sight even after placing a high loop to support. I did not separate the baby from the mother cause I don't know how? May be later? But I gave them a jumbo pot so they can grow and grow together or not ...
