The aspirin soak is untested, the dilution is  wild-ass guess.  I've used=it
to save a few iris rhizomes infected with Erwinia carotovora.  The Comet =(or
equivalent, is now an old standby introduced by me back in the 50s--proba=bly
no one else is alive who remembers its introduction.) If its irises, it's
best to leave them in full sunlight for a day or two before replanting th=em,
and then plant very high, i.e.,   the rhizome barely in the ground, or, p=ut
it on top of the ground anchored with a wire U (upside down).  I'd left s=ome
for three months this way, and they've done better than when planted.

But arisaemas are not irises and I haven't had enough of them to leave on=e
in the sun.  The next one that I find with soft spots  will get the Tx
(abbreviation  for treatment)
