During the transition from fall to winter dormancy then to spring awakening, each individual growth point will tend to form a "callus" between them which then develops into separate rhizomes ("bulbs") with roots. When ready in the Spring, these individual rhizomes will easily separate with no effort. Those that are not yet ready can be broken off or cut apart with a knife. These premature separations can be rooted similar to a leaf-pulling. The chance of success is better than a leaf pulling because more rhizome tissue is involved. Still, for maximum success, it is better to wait until each rhizome division has roots before separating them.
