I'm having a problem with a Bulb. Vaginatum which I recently
purchased while on a trip to Oahu. The seller advised me that I
should soak the stem on which the four bulbs are attached then try to wrap
it around a tree bark and to hold it in place either with a U pin (Similar
to a staple but designed for plants), or with a fish line w/o cutting into
the roots.

The bubls do not appear to be doing well, they are shriveled and
turning black. I spray the roots daily, I keep it on the Western
side of the house w. no direct sun on it, and it looks like I'm doing
something wrong.

I need assistance, if you would be so kind, I would hate to lose this lovely
plant!
