Default Re: New planted corm rotting

I am thinking maybe over watering may be the issue. I watered daily for the first few days after planting and every two to three days after that. I did notice water kind of pooling for a few seconds before draining away but not sure how is the soil down on the corm. The container drain a lot better special because I put a layer of clay pellets and some small rocks at the bottom for better drainage. I used peat moss with both mixing it with potting soil before I planted the corms.
