Hello everybody and a knolliges Christmas to all,.

the appropriate images are painful, because I had to experience it in a similar way. Now, I have to ask something the pros: again and again, I have heard this year by beginners as well as professionals, of muddy and foul tubers. I would like to exclude me me of it. I have to do unfortunately this experience. I can easily find not the reason for these conditions. For example, I had indiscriminately planted 1 year bulb in my raised bed, they were exposed to throughout the season about the weather. The Earth was partially klitschnass. These tubers, 30 in number, have grown to true glory copies. And not one was of putrid. My major were in large pots with the greatest Earth, the best care, the best fertilizer, the best water and lots of love and nurtured. The plant you saw nothing, but the tubers at the dig out already. Partially rotted on partly muddy and sometimes less than before the implant. Not all, but the majority had anything. All had flourished and were subject to a short respite, until the tide came. The evil took in the resting phase already run its course? Just come to any solution! Can this be not just on the bad season? As often claimed.

Christmas greetings Sookie

It got this year unfortunately even me with lazy tubers.
Wet substrate is sure flörderlich for rot, but certainly not the only reason why tubers to rot. Dracunculus vulgaris nodules are Z.B me in pot culture always gefault(konnte Sie zudem noch Glück retten), no matter how carefully I poured. However, it seems to be, no matter how much it rains (and with me it rains often not just a little) planted, they drive each year.
When my Synandrospadix (Topfkukltur) I have loosened up the substrate (no cheap Earth) with perlite, pumice, charcoal, rather cast little and yet it is rotten. Here a bacterium should be all vorausich after fault, which often infects my post Potato tubers
Think the living soil Mikrooganismen are freely planted just completely different than in pot culture.
Have excavated the security a few days ago macrophyllus my Amorphophallus because it appeared too early I, that they will turn yellow and already draws. When I have them laid out Raven that was still a small which is to rest of the old tuber under the bulb it is was quite moist and already quite decayed. And the new bulb had a lazy job at the bottom. Can imagine that scruffy and there wasn't the old tuber in outdoor culture of wesentliich scghneller leads to problems as in the pot.
This year it was at my Thyponium venosum so larger tubers have chosed in the pot the rest in the garden. With the result that were at the plants that grew in the pot which was the old Knollenrest off and rots in the bottom. So nciht have grown wirkcilh. The free planted, however, all without prejudice to grow.
And also ausgeplanzt, tubers can be lazy. Because it has caught while no Araceae but potatoes with me.

last year i too suffered loss of a big titanum..sigh..heartbreaking.. sigh
i did some surfing looking for ideas.. now i use a potting mix that i am having
great success ..
not sure would work in all growing conditions/environments..
i use 70% pine bark chips..and 30 % pumice..similar size to the pine bark..
i have alot of water flow thru the potting mix..of course.. but from last growing
season (2013) the unpotted amorphs..konjac,paeoniifolius,amorph species.. the unpotted
corms looked great..fantastic root systems..some corms had root systems pushing potting
mix out of the pots..
none of my largest titanums are dormant yet.. my 2 smaller titanum, 1 hewettii that are dormant..
had great roots and are now just starting back in growth again..
as has been mentioned..potting mix isnt the only consideration for successful growth..
i use a biological fungicide with every watering.. this seems to help fend off fungal growths
on the corms..
i know its only mid winter here.. but im sure anxious to get plants outside..back in full growth. and especially
see how largest titanums,and 1 medium sized hewettii did in corm growth !!!!

OK - so far, the real reason we have not identified thus always. Affected tubers, flourished four in number, in the substrate with me. As I will be noticed that it flourished and have no hand, I capped them summarily. Then came the described period up to the leaf shoots (ca 5-6 weeks). I think because the evil took its course. Have the small muddy tags been I guess old tubers? That would mean, the old Corm is rotten as well as / dissolved and the healthy upper part is the new bulb? Unfortunately, I took no pictures. And further we go in the rate game.

Many greetings your Sookie

I can but no meaningful contribution but feel the painful loss. So far, I had still not failures but also only a small inventory of "easy" candidates. But now I run for the first time in the basement and look for my Jumbo whether there everything i.O. is.
I hope the pros can submit here still good tips.
Beautiful new year to all!

Do not panic - that was all in the growing season. If your Jumbo dry and had no mold approaches, then everything is certainly OK. I can even give you a tip: sometimes, doesn't show the decomposition process of the tuber. By you it scans, you know whether the case has soft spots. If everything is pretty tight and not smell the tuber, everything is fine.

Greetings Sookie
