Last year I wrapped an orinoco with christmas lights that were controlled with a Thermocube. Caged with chicken wire filled with chopped Oak leaves. When I unwrapped the pstem it looked just like when I wrapped it. However it never grew. It was still green when the corm rotted.

I have one fixed the same way this year. There is a foot of chopped Oak leaf mulch around the base.

I been thinking if it rotted again this year; I might try putting heat tape under the corm, but not turning it on till it was time to start growing in the spring.

It might not work, but I think it might be worth a try.

George.
