What causes Yellowing Leaves and Corm Rot?
Overwatering, poor drainage, high temperatures, or water collecting on the plant's crown can lead to yellowing leaves and the rotting of the tuber (corm).
How to treat Yellowing Leaves and Corm Rot
Immediately stop watering, improve drainage by repotting into a well-draining mix, and remove any visibly rotted parts of the corm with a clean, sharp knife, dusting cuts with wood ash or cinnamon powder.
How to prevent Yellowing Leaves and Corm Rot
Water only when the top inch of soil is dry, use bottom watering to avoid wetting the crown, and ensure the plant is kept in cool conditions.
