I decided to re-pot the Ladyfinger after over a month of no growth/rotting. Partly because I felt it needed a bigger pot and partly because I wanted to double check its root growth.
Unfortunately, I was correct in my guess that there was rot happening below the surface. Although the original roots were still intact and doing ok, no new root growth was to be found. I think the oddly shaped hollowish corm was causing the rot...
The plant itself is somewhat "J" shaped and the center part of the corm was hollow when I first potted it. Anyhow, I am guessing that this hollow "J" shape was the culprit to the rot, catching and holding water and causing rot when it wouldn't have happened otherwise.
I removed what I could of the rot and am hoping for some nice new growth in the near future!!
I'll post new pics of the plants tomorrow.
