If it is just a small area, you could cut out the mushy part and let the bulb heal over. My caladium bulbs were many and pretty hard. There was a mushy spot on one of them and I just, kind of, scooped it out with my gloved finger. I am, actually, impressed with how well they went through the season-- and some of them really multiplied. Let me see if I can get a picture....they seem to be dry already. They are all hard and healthy--as far as i can tell. Look good! Phew--that took a while. Brushed some of the dirt off--they are all dry. SO! 1--The WINNER of making the most bulbs--Aaron! I started with 3. 2--The large Aaron bulbs--closer. So many "eyes'! 3-Another WINNER! The huge NOID bulbs Holly was waking around offering... This is the one I had in the big pot. ONE bulb! 4--"Buck Rogers--I think I had 3 bulbs to start with?? They were in the tiny front bed smothered by other large plats. Very shaded out...One was by my shed-- 5--The "looser"! "Gingerland"--not sure how many I had.. 2 for sure.. Maybe 3 to start with? |
