Actually, I was saying to pot into 100% course sand. This is to aid in air-rating the roots and promoting very fast draining of excess water to kill any fungus. .... What I have done also is to use 50/50 mix of potting soil & perlite in the bottom half of the pot and sand in the upper half with the corm in the sand. this will let the new roots grow into the soil.
Use Course builder's sand from the bo box stores .... Do not use 'play sand'. It is too fine and will hold too much water.
