This one. Lay it down on a bed of sphag, secure it so that it doesn’t wobble or roll (just bend some wire and make a “U” pin) and let those roots develop before watering too much. If you remove the new growths from the bulb this year, especially this early, they will die a very quick death. Just leave them attached so they can get nutrients from the mother bulb. And don’t be surprised if the main bulb starts to yellow as its reserves get zapped.
