Yikes! My Celebration is almost gone Sad Sad I checked the bulb and it shrank and became soft. I decided to cut the stalk and dip it in sugar water vase (tip from Barbara). Then I easily pulled up the bulb: the poor thing's roots all rot (the bottom plate a bit too)! Trying save it as I could: remove all rot roots; remove dead skins; dry the bulb; repot in soil. I only moisturized the bottom soil (no contact with the bulb) and let the bulb sit on and covered by dry soil, then put it under warm sunlight.

I have hoped you guys would affirm the possible saving, but also expect otherwise fate. Do appreciate advice if there's still hope, when do I start to water it? Thanks

Oh, also about the Samba since planted in soil, it's been about 3 weeks I haven't watered. Time to water?
If a plant looks good, smells good, don't eat it, grow it!
