| What I've seen in situations like this is root formation at the point of connection between the bulb and the leaves. I had a Onc that was badly potted at purchase, and had to have the majority of the rotting roots removed. When it was re potted rootless, it surprised me by forming all of the roots in the crotch of the leaves! So, don't give up, if anything its only going to cost you a little growing space.
-Incidentally that plant is still going strong, and has even formed new pbulbs. |
