Zacarias - just leave them be for a while with only a little dampening from time to time. One of mine rotted away completely above ground and I resisted the impulse to dig it up. Nearly 5 months later it put up a pup - obviously the roots had been ok. Likewise an old dead mat suddenly put up a shoot. Have patience and don't give up or keep digging them up. They are very tough if they are not wet.
