When I have problems with my bulbs with mold or rot on the base of the blub I peel off the dried layers, gently rub off any layers that are shriveled or bad and then soak them in diluted hydrogen peroxide, 1 to 1 diluted. Then I let them dry for a day or two, bottom up and repeat the process one more time. The best luck I have had forcing them is to soak them in the hydrogen peroxide dilute for a day before, pot them up in sharp sand and place them on a propagation mat set at 72. and keep them barely moist, watering every 3 days.
