mold on Caliphruria bulbs

 If all the roots are gone, you might try putting on some Clonex gel and sticking them into a pot of relatively dry medium.  I saved a Hippeastrum bulb that way.  It sprouted new roots and went on to grow normally.

 I mistakenly let my pot of Caliphruria subdentata get too cold this
winter.  The foliage died back & didn't resprout so I dug the bulbs to see
how they looked.  They seem firm & healthy but most had some blue/green
powdery mold on the bottom.

I gave them a quick bleach dip & they're air drying now.  Are there any
other measures I ought to take for them?

My Eucharis x grandiflora was not so lucky.  All the bulbs succumbed to the
cold.

Thanks,
