PLEASE HELP SAVE THIS NANER!
Wow!! What would I do if it was me, more than likely toss it out. However, you sound attached, so we will try to help. First thing you do is, take the plant outside get a plastic bag, pull plant out, dump the dirt, shake all the dirt from the roots, use water if you must, but get all the dirt off the plant. Cut P-stem off near corm, toss it out{p-stem} with dirt in a sealed garbage bag.
Wash and sterilize the planter, scrub and submerse in water, hot water. Spray,scrub any areas that have hiding place on the planter.
Vacuum floors and carpets where the plant was near, walls etc.
Next, fill bathtub up with luke warm water, submerge entire plant in water, holding enter plant under water for about 10 minutes, drain water, spray off plant, fill tub back up again, submerge again 1o minutes.
Get some fresh soil, you know the perlite, non compacting soil. The more money you spend the better, the best soil you can get. You want it to be well draining, with lots of nutrients.
Get corm out of tub, let dry, put corm into fresh soil, dry, do not water, put moist cloth on top of planter, completely cover top of planter. Cloth should not touch dirt, use mister to lightly mist the cloth daily.Keep in dark cool room. The moisture will keep soil at optimal moisture until spring arrives and then water and warmth to set the corm to active stage.
Do not plant to deep, the corm should rest about a inch under the soil. |
