With these old eyes, no way! Honestly, I don't want to risk weakening the plant. Even under the best conditions this species is tough to keep going - the roots are few and the rhizomes so small they are hard to notice at all. That isn't much for a plant to go on and that is why they are so difficult to maintain long term and so easy to kill...the conditions here are less than perfect. Come July, August, and September the oven turns on, true relentless subtropical heat, so it is amazing this little guy persists, but so far he has!
