MACRORRHIZA Urgent help required!

10 years ago

Hello fellow green fingered friends.

i have 4 small 1-3" Macrorrhiza tubers that I had shipped direct from thialand. When they arrived they had some roots and buds forming 1 even has a 1" long shoot. I potted them up in normal compost and placed them in the heated greenhouse at 20c. After 2 weeks I had the feeling somthing was wrong, 3 were beginning to rot at the bottom so was the 4th but it had put out new roots however some were rotting. Removed them all from the compost and got rid or the rot and allowed to dry out for 24 hours and used cinnamon to protect from further rot. Because they are so small I thought it would be a good idea to try and get them into leaf rather than allowing the dormant period.

I'm in the the uk 30 miles north of London, zone 8 I think.

just to give an idea of what I have at my disposal

i have a heated greenhouse currently at 20c. I have a south facing window available in my house and also a very warm laundry cupbord with the boiler inside that feeds my radiators and hot water.

Please advise what you think I should do. Thanks in advance.
