Good to see you again Ivor!
Sorry to hear you are having some rot issues. I hope you can get under control.
If the Mother rhizomes are still hard, I replant them. I also send out boxes stuffed with Mother rhizomes and have had positive feedback on their success. Otherwise, the Mother's shrivel up, or become hollow husks. It's different here since it remains hot and dry after bloom season. We wont see rain again until October-November.
