This is a photo of a clump of Tuberose after separating. At the bottom is the white, severed basal plate that started the whole clump several years ago with this pot. After blooming, the old bulb shrivels, but the basal plate connects every bulb in this clump. A one year old bulb can be seen at left, clinging to a 2 year old. The 2 year old is a bit small but will probably send up a small flower stalk anyway. A good blooming-sized bulb is about the size of a nickle (about 2cm). Like I say, mine are small from neglect. The first photo is the clump before division. The next photo is the divided clump.
