I do this with my Tunia although that's a special case as it's renews itself every year with the stem / bulb of last year spending all it's energy on the new shoot.

LOL and this is exactly what I was saying I did not move anything simply cut the rhizome into between the realy ratty pbs that have not got enough good roots and are extreamly shriveled ...I leave all pbs that still have good roots and are not wasting away attached to the main plant.

They had just enough roots that they are firmly on the mount yet but the roots are dead or almost dead.

As someone else mentioned I would not leave less than 3 good pbs on the main section and in fact I realy only want to cut loose pbs that look like they are taking more than they can give....

That makes sense. Thank you for answering.
