Hi friends! When I repot this guy, how deep should I bury...

11” pot with drainage

If you can get a tall enough pot up to 3/3.5” that would be great, it looks like it already wants to root from there. If not then it’s not a problem, their erm, (I don’t even know what they’re called either πŸ˜‚) corm stem things can get pretty tall.
@Peachyhoyas thanks! I’m really tempted to just add soil on top to cover most of this corm stem β€œthingy” and keep it in the same pot until Spring of 2025. What do you think?
I think that’ll work, I’ve done that before with anthuriums since they like tall pots too. If you don’t think it really needs repotting you could just pack soil around it to encourage it to root down into the pot :) You can also find pot extenders online or just make your own which are just plastic rings to make a taller pot & keep the soil in place, showed you a pic online because I’m not the best at explaining πŸ˜…
Awesome! That totally makes sense! Thanks!!!
