Rest easy Sandy none of my corms have went unprotected and its my understanding none of the other posters have either. We are just concerned with their welfare due to the bitter winter weather and am trying to do the best to aid their survival.

Several questions we've had or discussions we've had are:

1. Since we had a bad winter is it better to leave them alone or intercede and do damage control.

2. Is it an advantage to go in and remove the mushy soft tissue now?

3. If number 2 is yes. How much should we remove?

4. Is it an advantage to, on warm days, air the corm out?

5. Is placing an appratus such as a milk jug over the plant to provide solar heating to dry and heat the corm good for the corms survival?

I appreciate everyone input and the pictures are very helpful. Those pictures look exactly like what I'm finding. I had brought a basjoo corm into the basement about 3 weeks ago. I dug it out since linemen let tree limbs fall on the cage. Its been sitting in an open trashbag and I did treat it with fungicide. Anyway, I potted it up in a rubbermaid and put some heat on it this weekend and its sending out a small pup out to the side of the main corm.
