I got this Scalprum from a private seller for 12€. This plant has been on my wishlist for some time now.
Came with some root rot in sponge-like soil. I repotted it and secured the stem with a wooden stick so the plant can develop new roots in peace. I also wiped down the leaves with a moist cloth and some soap to prevent any pests from spreading in my collection (if there are any on the plant). I cut off the old inflo, that already started to rot.
I’m so happy with my purchase. And I even found a corm. 🥰

I had to pull a similar rescue manoeuvre on a poor, much abused Scalprum I bought on eBay once. Sadly mine was just too bent out of shape from rolling round in a box for two days and rotten from its death plug, it proceeded to turn to mush shortly after. Yours looks much better though. Hopefully it survives the shock of it all. I love these plants – is three too many?
