Base Rot
Hey guys,
I had 3 hawaiin double plants that I thought were doing quite well. One day they started to recede at the base of the plant. It continued to get worse until the plant just fell over. Is this a sort of rot that I could have prevented? The plants looked very healthy and green. I didn't see any insects but, I mean, they could have bitten away at it but I am not sure. Thanks for the input.

Re: Base Rot
In pots under a grow light. ill see if I can take pics later on. the recession started on one side at the base and slowly grew into a 1 inch chunk missing till it just fell over. It was about 2 feet tall when it happened.

Re: Base Rot
My plan was to overwinter in our shop and then plant them in the fields in the spring.

Re: Base Rot
I tried with the last one that had this same issue. One gust of wind knocked it down and broke the stem. Is there anyway to rehab this last one besides putting it outside? I think you are alluding to overwatering but I usually only water it sparsely but spraying the leaves with a light mist.

Re: Base Rot
Check the moisture at the middle and bottom of the pot. If it is wet, then repot in course sand after washing the corm with bleach water.
