I had to move quickly on this one. The sun was high, the plant was in full sun, roots dangling, new growths ready to snap from the pressure. I tried to act calm trying not alert the stunned plant to panic. Ok- Then I burned the tips of my scissors to kill any bacteria and divided into two new plants and packed them lightly with sphagnum moss. This is only temporary, it would have the chance of staying to moist. These both have quite a few new growths and at least 3-4 mature bulbs and it looks to be happy.
