Had to cut and prop top part of baby thai coz the root caught rot. I cut the rot and the baby plant somehow survived as well and I'm seeing this.

Are these 2 nodes for new leafs?

The left one is coming from under a root

Have this baby thai, which seemed healthy, pushed 2 new leaves within 40 days. Tolerating direct sun and thriving even in 40°c+ temps.

I looked at the base today and found blackning, removed the bottom most leaf and found white mushy thing. May e rot, not sure.

Please help how i can save this plant, no aerial root yet so if stem rots it'll be without roots.

Soil seems wet only because i used water to remove and clean dirt around the stem

Hailing from one of the hottest places on earth, dahlias here are basically winter flowers.

As a first-time dahlia grower, my initial plan after blooming was to leave them in the ground until the weather settled down. I had started noticing new shoots, but with the extreme heat now touching 45°C, the plants began drying out. I pulled out 2 plants while 5 are still in the ground.

The first one had almost no tubers, and the second had only tiny ones (photo attached). These were grown from cuttings and bought from a local nursery.

Is there anything I can still do for the plants in ground or pots to help them develop better tubers or survive the extreme summer heat?

Bought this Albo online and upon arrival realised the upcoming leaf has rot. Will this kill the main leaf as well? How to proceed, should i leave this as it is? This is a rooted top cut plant. I'll repot it soon.
