This is so so very important if you want to save this pricey plant.........MAKE SURE that all parts of the corm which might have a tendency to rot further is COMPLETELY DRY BEFORE YOU RE-POT IT. It would even be better to allow it to dry in the air for several hours or more before re-potting. You should dust it with some fungicide powder or even some roottone powder (I would dust the entire corm with the Roottone to help aid in regrowth of some new roots as quick as possible). Im pretty sure that Roottone also makes one with fungicide added. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT>> Place it in a new potting MIX which should consist of 75% (or more) perlite and the rest peat moss. MAKE SURE it is a very well draining MIX>>NOT SOIL OR DIRT!! It is imperative that you plant it in a similar mix, even 100% perlite is fine for now. Place the corm with the sideshoots above the soil line so that they are showing. Water ONCE thoroughly and DO NOT water it again until its almost completely dry. DO NOT keep it moist all the time. Give it the strongest light possible. Full sunlight is best at this point, a window sill with some direct sunlight would be better than any indoor lighting, and of course warmth too. With the young suckers being above the soil line you can easily keep an eye on them and if worse comes to worse, it might be possible to cut away sections of the corm containing the suckers (like you would a potato) to repot IF your corm goes south. Good luck!!
