The main bulb will bulk up better if it doesn't make offsets, but in the
long run it won't hurt it. I plant mine deeper with the bulb completely
submerged.

I have had a 2cm wide bulb of h.leonardii for about 4 months, which is doing well under lights, but this small bulb is making at least 6 offsets. Is this normal for this species, or will all these offsets hinder the growth of the main bulb? The main bulb looks quite healthy, less than half submerged in a very porous potting medium. Thanks.
