Am I alive

Hi,
This is what I found inside the pot today and I broke it about 3 weeks ago... I have not watered it but don't know much about these things... Key Ring sent this to me and it's name is Laura Kohleria... So any help would be great... and Thanks...

If I had not repotted others today and saw tons of them in there pots I would have thought they were worms LOLOL Is it normal for so many to be in one pot? They were not there or at all of them when I got them...LOL Maybe the worms like me...LOLOL They bloom so good also... So something must be right ... ^_^ I just don't want to throw them out if these are still alive... I am going to bed here soon and will try and see if my head will let me read up on them... If not there is always tomorrow.. LOL
Hugs,

Hi Susan,Yes there alive.lol
There called rhizomes,you can plant them like they are and grow new plants.Or store them in a baggie with moist perlite untill you get a chance to plant them..I repotted my kohleria and there was 16 large rhizomes in the pot.

Oh Jan, Thank you so much... I am so glad I did not throw them out... So will it hurt them until I get home from work tomorrow if I left them as they are? just put them in dirt like they were? The one has roots so I know what way to plant it but not sure about the others so I guess sideway.... I was really surprised to see so many in the pots I potted up today.. So down the road I should take some out and repot in other pots? Oh I am doing the happy dance here now and I really needed a reason to be happy... Thanks...
Hugs,
Susan

Susan, so your "worms" are Kohleria rhizomes?? Hope you will post a photo of your plant when it blooms! I have one Kohleria plant that I got in trade from Cedarnest recently ... I sure hope I can keep the thing alive so I will see the blooms. The one I have is Kohleria Manchu.
