I checked my scales today and found what I initially thought were roots, but on closer examination seem to be leaflets sprouting UP from the tiny bulblets. What should I do? The scaling instructions talk about putting the bulblets through a cold phase after 2 months or so of warm and then planting into medium after that. They describe leaf formation AFTER the cold phase. Did mine skip that? Should I just plant them out even if there are no roots? Running off to the websites and books....
