I'd be tempted to try rehydrated bloodworm at this time of year.

I might have some of them ,I definitely have some cichlid fish food made from insects, what do you think to the fish food ? Was mould your concern? Edit ,I read your post dehydrated but you would rehydrate?

Cichlid food should be OK. The bloodworm is small and rehydrating would give the plant a start rather than having to rehydrate them itself. There's no chitin left over to cause problems with the worms.

Ok I probably will rehydrate the fish food for those reasons, tried to get a couple of more flattering pics to show off the dew hopefully more leaves are on the way and better pics will follow

Progress is being made, only four of the six at the moment, fingers crossed the other two show up a closer look at the largest so far , I did sneak a look at the tubers when they were dormant and they all seemed to be healthy and getting to a good size so dunno what the other two are playing at

they're getting larger every year but not in a hurry, a group shot before I feed em, I can't complain too much as all six are surviving and look healthy enough to me

hopefully the creases will disappear as the leaves plump out, this one seems to be an improvement on last year with looking like eight leaves on the way ,last year six was the most any of the plants had

They're taking a long time to get to any kind of size but I likes em, strange this year I have two plants off one tuber so should have seven this year

Seven plants but three are kind of bunched up and overlapping in the middle,don't know if I'll end up with seven tubers as two plants are off one tuber so I'll have to wait and see, heavier feeding been going on ,plenty of fruit flies from the reptile food department in the local pet shop this year there's been a good increase in size I reckon most plants have doubled and the largest is two inch across. so a closer look to celebrate the pics aren't the best but can't have an improvement in the plants and my photography in the same year

Back in October when the lone one had emerged, i had no doubt that the rest would come up later, and it looks they brought a couple friends along with them.
