L. vernum carpaticum and L. vernum vagneri; no dry corms

Partially dried out, flabby bulbs (n.b. not corms) of Leucojum vernum can be re-established. Soak them in water until they plump up and become hard to the touch, like a narcissus bulb, then put them up in damp, clean, washed sand. If you add a systemic fungicide such as benomyl (no longer on the market, however) to the water, so much the better.

You may have to soak them for a week or ten days to fully rehydrate them; change the water every couple of days in that case.

There will be losses, but as long as the bulbs haven't become totally desiccated, they will mostly revive under this treatment.
