You could do. That isn't a bad idea actually. Make sure to use sterilised compost. Don't water it for a little while tho', wait a few days til the leaves start going a tiny bit droopy, then put some water in a saucer for 24 hours only. Any water left, drain it away. Repeat the process and you should get a healthy plant. If you want to feed it, do it once it starts flowering, on a fortnightly basis til it finishes flowering. hth!

Without seeing the plant, it sounds like you could be overwatering them. They do not like water on their tubers else they start to rot. You could let it dry out. Keep an eye on it but I would certainly take the affected leaves off.
