| Your plant is well past the seedling stage. It is certainly blooming size especially in that it is growing in two directions. It would have flowered this summer.
Two growing directions almost guarantees that it was in a very tight pot before you bought it and the grower probably upsized the pot. If the plant had roots growing over the sides of the pot it is probable that the roots were stuffed into the pot rather than being cut off or left outside.
These roots have a bad tendancy to rot.
Watch the discolored bulb in the first photo. I agree with Fred that it look like rot. If it starts to get soft cut it quick. The two floppy bulbs on the sides is common on a badly overgrown plant. The roots that were supplying the bulbs with nutrients are no longer functional. If they were cut, off then it is beter for the plant but you may lose these two bulbs and a growing season.
If these get soft and blacked cut them out quick and I would recommend examining the roots and cut drasticly any that are bad.
The plant is generally good and you should be able to save it. The dark sheats are meaningless. Ignor them or remove them, sheats do not need to be kept.
