Your tuber/corm looks perfectly normal=2C and probably is in dormancy. =3B =3B This is a really tropical species=2C and so may need a lot of warmth to break dormancy. Good Growing=2C Julius >=3B>=3BHi all=2C  =3B Last year I bought one tuber=2C it produced a leaf and fell into dormancy as it should (I cultivated it at home).  =3B This year it hasn't put any leaf or roots. =3BYesterday I =3Bdug it from the pot and I still don't know if it is alive or not. I scratched it a little - it was cream =3Bbeige inside and seemed solid. =3B I broke =3Bthe tip where the leaf should grow from and it =3Bwas wet. How to check if it is not rotten? What to do with the tuber? I stored it during dormancy also in the room temperature. Here are 2 photos=2C I can do better images if neccesary (macro closeups).  =3B Please help me Marek Argent --_e3f9e823-bac2-4a73-8bd0-60bb7401eb80_----===============6774428037077132087==
