Hello. A week ago I took three of my spider lilies indoors because the foliage was a mess. It had begun turning yellow, droopy and even mushy; the stem also. So I cut it all off and put them in the attic where it's cool to overwinter.
Over the next few days the mushy stems didn't dry out so I begon to worry. I took one of them out of its pot, rinsed all the soil off and placed it in the living room to dry properly.
Also, the top of the bulb looked like it retreated inside if you know what I mean. I took some small scissors and tweezers, cut the thin rim on the top off to expose more of the inside and removed as much of the mushy stuff as I could and dried it as much as possible with some paper. Was this a good thing to do?
Ps: does anyone know if the ribbed roots are contractile roots? Would be intersting to know
