This past summer the bit of soft rot that showed up during our
drought fortunately did so in plants that had some hot sun exposure
during the day. Instead of the chlorox treatment, I just scooped
away top soil so the upper surface of the rhizome was well exposed,
cleaned up all accumulated leaves, etc., then scraped out the rot,
washed the remainder and let the remaining surface dry in the sun.
Most of the rot stopped. One plant required a second minute of
attention a few days later. The sun did not have the possibly
negative effects of root burn, etc., that I had suspected from the
tsp. of undiluted Chlorox treatment the summer before. I lost none
of the clumps, and only one fan's growing tip.
