Hi Tom,
Thank you for your very thoughtful reply, your description of the
problem is exactly correct. The "rot" seems to radiate back from the
growing point of the rhizome. I have tried a number of fungicides over
the years but none have been that successful, this year I am trying
Mancozeb as a spray and dusting the cut rhizome ends with Sulphur
powder.
Here in Brisbane our winters are quite mild and often wet most years,
this year it never really got below 6 degrees C at all and it was a bit
wet. In a "good" year it may get down to 3 or 4 degrees C and be quite
dry for a month or two. My plants though are under a clear
polycarbonate sheeting roof so the rain did not affect them as in other
years. One clue though, I have only early last month finished repotting
the plants. Is this a coincidence or is this when you or others on the
list have this rot problem.??
I too would be very happy to hear from any others with experience with
this problem, particularly with possible solutions.
Again thanks for your reply.
