out of the box both showed signs of growth, the one that was topped had a quarter of an inch growth and the other had some root coming out of the corm.
but that was as far as either did anything after potting. they just slowly withered away. i have had a plant or 2 do this but they always came back.

when i finally decided to pull them from the pots i found a yellow sulferish mold about the size of a marble on both. other than that there was no rot visible. using my knife i found that both mold went to black rot. one the rot went up the center completely eating out the center of the corm. the other one had black only going into it a half an inch.

not knowing what to do i decided to plant the better one in the aquarium rock i had been growing a raja Puri in for better than a year. it looks like may be responding.

sorry about the quality of the photos, i probably should have taken them in a better light
