Default Mother Corm possibly rotting?

What’s the best way to know if you have Corm rot or not. the original plant is the only corm that is not really producing the spring. I posted a picture in my gallery I don’t know how to link it to the post- any advice - when I cut around the brown it appears to show some life - it’s well hydrated also

Cut a few inches off of the top and see what it looks like in the middle. If it looks black cut back some more till you get to a greener center.

Smile Re: Mother Corm possibly rotting?

Stick your finger in it........You know the drill.
If it smells bad then your corm might be experiencing some rotting issues.

Or you may take the whole corm out and inspect it,
