Debbie,
It is also a good idea to take a toothbrush and brush away any soft
material, flush with clean water, let dry and then apply the Daconi
l.

Debbie, drying out the stem with the fan is good. I would spray the stem
with a good fungicide such as Daconil or Captan. You can even make a
paste
and paint it on and you should have no problems. I use some Borax last
year
out of despesparation because of a large stem split. It seemed to work,
and
knowing that Boxax has some anti-fungus properties you probably can use
it
as well.
Good Luck.
