Dear Friends,
I THINK I recall Dr. Eduardo Goncalves saying that this genus occured in ar eas that are seasonal wet, then become very dry and parched , so going dorm ant for a while in the time of its original summer season (Oct.to Jan-Feb.? ?) might be ''natural'' for this plant.
I used to grow three species/forms of this--- S. hastifolia, S. sagittifoli a and the variagated one with lanceolate leaves. It certainly is a wonder ful, easy to grow little gem of an aroid. The inflorescence always reminde d me of a woman`s diamond tennis-type bracelet! A photo of a bloom in Den i Bown`s first edition shows exactly what I mean.
Good Growing.
Julius

I have grown this plant for four years, and there seems to be no pattern to its dormancy, which lasts a month or less. The plant does need high humidity, but also needs moving air, like orchids. Without the air mov ement, you will lose leaves and can get some rot, which can kill the tuber.

Then it lost all its leaves, but the corm/tuber i s still nice and hard and green and has lots of healthy white roots. Any i deas why it would stop producing leaves? Conditions in the tank have not c hanged.
