I kept this Mr Frans tuber indoors and decided to get it used to outdoor conditions. So I put it outside to acclimate in the morning and now it’s been like 3 days since that.

This morning I checked it again and saw that in the middle of the sprout it decomposed and left this stubble. The weather was good, I kept anti frost fabric on it at night , but I cant figure out what caused this.

I’ve seen that when you take cuttings , new sprouts form at the base of the cut, so can this luckily happen in this case too or is this tuber done for?

    This is an automatic reminder regarding r/dahlias Rule 3:

    When reasonable*, posters should make a good-faith effort to identify which variety/varieties are shown in their photo(s). If you don’t know for certain, please say so. Someone will usually know!

    *Common-sense exceptions to this rule will be honored, such as if the photo does not contain a blossom, or if your photo contains large volumes (such as in wide field shots).

    If you’ve already done this, thank you! No further action required.

    If not, please add a reply to this comment and confirm if you know the name of your dahlia variety/varieties shown in the photo(s). Alternately, if you’re uncertain of the variety name(s), it’s ok to say that, too.

    It’s hard to tell how it really looks but when I first started my sprouts I misted them down and put a plastic bag over it, they ended up turning black and looking weirdly rotted, I ended up pinching the black parts off to see what happened I’ll add a pic of how they are looking.
