Can any of these corms be saved at all?

*Dearly Depotted* · 11-29-2020, 09:05 PM

Hey! Does anyone think there is any possibility these corms could be saved at all? I think they just got too dried out! If so, what do I do? Thanks in advance!

I can't tell because the corm is covered up by the roots in the photo. .... As long as the corm is firm & white and not soft & black. It can be saved. .... The roots don't seem to show any rot. Wash the corm with bleach water and repot in proper nana potting soil.

Actually, I would put nana potting soil in the bottom half of the pot and set the corms in course sand in the top half.

Alrighty first thing I’ll do is check for firm & white corms! I didn’t know to try washing it in bleach water before! Neat! I then repot it with good soil! Will do! Fingers crossed that they’re not icky soft & black! Thanks so much as always!

Pot them up and keep them warm and see what happens. Doesn't hurt to try.
