OK. First off, apologies for TOTALLY hijacking the OP's thread with my nonsense.

Next, I've finally pulled the plant from the pot. The roots all looked good, surprisingly. The tallest bulb was the one with the leaves earlier this growing season that got attacked by mites, and now the bulb is brown and shriveling (and looks like it's dying off). The bulb you are concerned about due to overwatering is a bit soft near the base of the bulb, but it seems green and healthy even though it's definitely softened and drooped downward nearly horizontal to the ground. See pics attached.

So, I put the cat back in the pot since the roots looked good and until I receive further instruction from this post.

Additionally, I am still a bit confused on watering. Just stop watering completely? I haven't in nearly a week and the roots were still a tad moist but it's just about completely dry. Don't water until the growths have new roots that are 3 to 5" long, correct?

Finally, what is the process for detaching the new growths? Are they similar to Dens that spawn new growths on old canes and when the roots are long enough you just snap off the new growth and pot it up - is that the process with a Cat as well? Snapping the new growth from the side of the bulb? Or is the process different?

Thanks for all your help!
