Corm surgery!

Dean W. · 08-26-2008, 08:04 PM

I have theses two corms that have dried out and desicated on the top so I cut off a portion of the p-stem.

Hopefully, now it will take off and grow.

Here's a Monkey Finger that I'm thinking of doing the same thing to.

It looks like you have some good tissue there really. Should be fine. Good luck, I want to see it when it starts growing leaves again.

Be sure and keep updates posted in this. I'm very curious how it will do. That center does look promising. Good luck.

I've had several like that. About half the time mine sent a new "pup" up along side the old psuedostems. In most all cases the plants lived
