Not sure of the impact of the heating pad, never heard that before with miltons.....you could have had all the new growth initiated by using it ! Maybe you have discovered something new !

I just moved the plant over to semi-hydro because I found new roots growing in while digging through the surface. While rinsing off the soil I found 2 more new growths concealed between leaves. This plant came with 5 pbulbs and now it's making 5 more at once. That't alot to do at once right? Maybe it was all the K-L-N with the heating pad that activated all the growth points? I hope they all make it through the transition. It has only been a few days and one of the leaves is turning yellow. I also have a Sharry Baby recently put in semi-hydro that went through the same treatment with 4 mature pbulbs and 3 new growths.
