Few days later, second baby appeared; didn't even repotted it yet-still in peat in came in. Is it ok to repot into better mix right away?

Hi Rina,

Great find, looks handsome. I'd think it'd be fine to change the mix so long as you do it dry. I'd just crumble the mix off the roots w/ my fingers, getting off as much of the old mix as possible.

Place in into new mix & knock it hard in the pot against the table to settle the mix & the plant.

Maybe you could pls post pix of the roots? It'd be interesting for us all to see.

Thank you for the tips, pg.
I'll try to remember to take pix when I get around to do it...
The 'leaves' are about 11" now (excuse the flash-it's 10:30pm, and photo taken against the window).

Rina,
You will find 5 stems rooted in that pot. Each one is going to send up a rhizome and start a new plant from it's stem.
As far as the ID. Sounds correct. And they do get big.

Thank you Stush, it already looks like a vigorous 'pupper'. If so, will have lots to give away soon.
