The eyes on the first one look like they're coming from the tp part, I was looking at the dark part on the side laying on the cardboard, is that part of the mostly rotted herbaceous root? I think it's too far gone to be a concern in both divisions, just don't know if it's better/worse/of no concern to leave it on replanting. I've read posts on FB where people who have been growing tps for decades used to routinely dig up plants 6-10 years in the ground to remove the nurse roots, if it's been that long I've wondered why they'd bother? Guess I should've asked there, huh? Glad the US growers routinely use nurse roots from lactis that shouldn't sprout in the first place but I'd have thought the nurse root would either take over the plant or die out, why risk digging it up to remove if it didn't have to be dug for another reason?
