David,

If they are A. rhizomatum (Chen Yi A-62 & A-82), dip them in a fungicide,
plant them staight away and keep them somewhere cool but frostfree. The
chances are that the rhizomes will swell back to their original shape. It
seems that A. rhizomatum produces new roots during the winter and it is
vital for the survival of the rhizomes that new roots are formed. Rhizome=s
that have not produced roots might produce new growth next autumn but if
there are no roots to support the new shoots it will use up all it's
reserves and dies from exhaustion.

Good luck,

Pascal

I have some tropical Arisamea (probably A. rhizomatum and others) where t=he
rhizome is getting soft or dehydrated.  I would appreciate advice on how =I
might save them.  I have not planted them yet thinking that the damp
conditions of a pot might induce rot.  Of course, I'm getting rot anyway =so
go figure.
