   How long is it taking to dry out? I had mine die in the same way, because the nursery put it into a soil that was just holding on to way too much moisture. They love humidity, but also don’t want to stay soaking wet forever. If the soil is never drying out on top (or taking weeks to do this), then you might want to repot it into a better draining mix (add lots of perlite). Of course, repotting it now while it’s so stressed out might not go well, so I’d just check it, and keep it in mind for the future - if it does die back fully, you can do what I did! Unpot it - carefully comb the soil, as you likely will find several baby corms you can turn into new plants! If the main corm isn’t rotting, gently remove any dead roots, and put it (and any other firm, non-rotting corms you find) into a lidded, translucent container containing moist perlite. Make sure to bury any healthy roots, and otherwise plant the corms (long pointy side up) about halfway into the perlite. Keep it moist and in a bright location (no direct sun), until you start to see new roots emerging! Once those emerge and dig into the soil, start to give it some airflow by opening the lid a bit - but make sure to keep it moist!! Don’t let them dry out at this stage. Once the first leaves start to appear out of the top of the corms, plant each into their own container, in nice, well-draining potting mix (Miracle Gro + some extra perlite should do fine). Make sure to not put them in too big a container, as this will contribute to them taking too long to dry out fully! Keep them in a humid location, with nice, indirect bright light, and switch slowly to the normal watering schedule! Also just a general thing for your plant now - is it getting full/direct sun in its current location? I find they like nice, bright filtered light, but don’t want too much direct sun, as the leaves will get burned, and the plant will be stressed out. So if yours is getting a lot of direct sunlight, that might be it! Find it a nice place with bright filtered light (a bathroom with a skylight is often a great place - nice filtered light, and lots of humidity!), and it should hopefully do much better! Just be careful moving it to a less bright spot, as this will also contribute to the soil staying wet for too long, if the soil it’s in is wrong. Good luck!!
