In way #2, you take the chance that the babies do not come from the base of the bulbs, where they should come from, but grow up and down the cane. This type of baby just throws out roots and is not anchored to anything, and must be taken off the mother and planted seperately. The growths from the base of the bulbs are much better and stronger and make for a bigger plant in the long run, and you only get these in way #1. In the first way you feed and water the plant during the season when it can make the best growth.
