kachinensis bulb alert

From: "Temmerman" <temmerm at skynet.be> on 2004.09.10 at 11:51:12(12176) Hi, I have a big Amorphophallus kachinensis bulb. It's dormant right now. It is stored dry, but I got a serious problem. The whole bulb is stored dry but on the bottom, there is a small shriveled knob that looks like the remnant of previous year's growth. But that knob is now wet and soft while the whole bulb is being stored dry. Is this rot? If so, what should I do. I really don't want to lose this big bulb. It's the only one I have. Thanks for any help already. Mike +More _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

From: "danny wilson" <mudwasp_ at hotmail.com> on 2004.09.10 at 19:28:10(12181) it might be rot. what i do when my bulbs start to rot is clean out the spot down to the good plant tissue as best as possible, then put the rotted sop in the sun until it dries out. if you dont want to put it in teh sun, you dont need to, that can cause problems its self. what you do need to do is put the spot in some sort of light so it can dry out a bit. i have never lost a bulb this way, including my A. titanum when it rotted a little. >From: "Temmerman" >Reply-To: Discussion of aroids +More >To: "aroid-l" >Subject: [Aroid-l] kachinensis bulb alert >Date: Fri, 10 Sep 2004 13:51:12 +0200 > >Hi, > >I have a big Amorphophallus kachinensis bulb.

I just cut off the mushy part and covered it with cinnamon (couldn't find any sulphur powder at the hardware store). I just hope it will make it.Best, Mike +More ----- Original Message ----- From: danny wilson To: aroid-l@gizmoworks.com Sent: Friday, September 10, 2004 9:28 PM Subject: RE: [Aroid-l] kachinensis bulb alert it might be rot. what i do when my bulbs start to rot is clean out the spot down to the good plant tissue as best as possible, then put the rotted sop in the sun until it dries out. if you dont want to put it in teh sun, you dont need to, that can cause problems its self. what you do need to do is put the spot in some sort of light so it can dry out a bit. i have never lost a bulb this way, including my A. titanum when it rotted a little. >From: "Temmerman" >Reply-To: Discussion of aroids >To: "aroid-l" >Subject: [Aroid-l] kachinensis bulb alert >Date: Fri, 10 Sep 2004 13:51:12 +0200 > >Hi, > >I have a big Amorphophallus kachinensis bulb.
