I have been growing petroscomea Momo for several months now and it has been happily getting bigger and growing in it's nice fuzzy rosette fashion. Then a month ago I started noticing one side lifting up and it has continued to rise more and more. Now I see a bunch of new growth under there...

Is this normal?? Or do I have a bunch of suckers that I need to try and get out somehow?? If they are suckers there are at least three of them in there...I'm worried I'll damage the mother getting these out but if that is what is needed I'll get to operating!

I'd really appreciate any tips on what to do with funny looking Momo

Here is a side view of Momo from yesterday.
