Help! Clivia shoots might be infected

Please help me with a treatment I can quickly apply to the tips of my clivia shoots. They are turning dark and I can only assume this means fungal infection. These are my little babies and I will cry if they die :cry:

I am sorry but focus on an iPhone is never good. You can see the middle shoot and the one to the right are both dark on their tips There is another in the foreground that is just fine and in the background you can see a bit of a large plant ready to be potted.

Sorry; I had a personal crisis right at the time this was posted (see signature block) and then did some serious study for several weeks.

What happened to the clivia?

It turned out ok. I transplanted them because the roots where quite long and then didn't want to water them too much so I left them in a cool dark corner of my pot shelves. I think they dried out too much because they went darker. Then I watered them and they suddenly shot up. I think it didn't help that it was actually winter and now that it is spring they are growing properly :)

I have just started another batch of seeds too.
