Default Re: Bringing corms out of storage.

yeah, i noticed the ones i cleaned up for my mom to plant back in the yard actually started growing faster than the ones i put in pots in some compost. i probably shouldnt put them in compost in pots, but have nothing else, and dont really want to buy some potting soil just to pot them up for a month.

i took the largest ones that didnt start sprouting out after a week and a half and let them sit in the shade till they start kinda greening up and look like they are ready to grow... otherwise i feel like they just decompose in the soil/pots, and dont really want that to happen.

also, if the main stem is turning mushy and brown, is this a fungal infection or some kind of disease, only to die eventually? i try and remove it to some green inner leaves, but it still has not seemed to survive.
