Hello together,

I have an a.konjac 2 years 895 grams in possession. Currently, the tuber has only a weight of approx. 130 grams.
I wanted to tell what exactly happened. Maybe are me happens also failed to care.

The tuber has trained in the second year a beautiful healthy blooms in February. The plant cost much force. I cut off the faded flower. The tuber was suspended until July, then drove off as the plant again. In the pot, I have kept even the young tubers together with s..
In December the plant was still fully in the juice in a beautiful green with thick root. When I saw after the tuber in the pot, already a large part of the substance of the tubers was dissolved, or lazy. There was no mold.
I then removed the rotten part with the still-green plant with stalk and dry blow dried the healthy Uberrest of the tuber.
What happened, that I was still the plant growth until December and that a part of the tuber was rotten?
It is normal that after flowering the bulb approx. Resting half a year?
I've bought good earth but not fertilized.

Thank you for your advice

Thanks for the advice.

Fertilize with the always careful was I, as I by the
new earth am assumed that sufficient nutrients are present.
I'm going to fertilize this year with the start.
Which fertilizers would be recommended?
Is it therefore normal that the plant isn't in the rest period merges in December?
I've had the indentation of the blade at the smaller tubers in October.
Should I cut off otherwise the journal in November, to get the tuber to rest faster?
The timing of the large tuber has caused minor problems with me as I correctly deal with the bulb...
