    There will be a shoot from every viable eye on the tuber. They will all grow up to the light, roots to follow.

    So do I plant the biggest ones upwards? Not sure what to do?

    If you didn't chitt the spuds then they could be "upside down" and still grow. Point most of the shoots up and it will be ok. Don't worry just get them in the ground.

    Don't think it really matters Orchid Lady but I usually plant them with the most shoots on top.
