All this talk of leaf spot and rot reminds me that I have a question too. My poor Venita Faye is having what I would call an opposite rot problem. The rhizome is large and healthy, and has a new increase starting, but the original fan is rotting off. I just got the rhizome a month ago, so the fan had been cut down. The remaining V of leaves were tightly packed. The top started turning brown and then soggy. I cut off the soggy parts. The leaves have had a bleach bath and fungicide. I have spread the leaves apart to allow them to dry out (they are really moist), but there is still some soggy decay going on. I would really like to save my rhizome. Should I just get rid of the rest of the fan and hope for the best?
