Your tuber/corm looks perfectly normal, and probably is in dormancy.   This is a really tropical species, and so may need a lot of warmth to break dormancy. Good Growing, Julius >>Hi all,   Last year I bought one tuber, it produced a leaf and fell into dormancy as it should (I cultivated it at home).   This year it hasn't put any leaf or roots. Yesterday I dug it from the pot and I still don't know if it is alive or not. I scratched it a little - it was cream beige inside and seemed solid.  I broke the tip where the leaf should grow from and it was 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, I can do better images if neccesary (macro closeups).   Please help me Marek Argent --_e3f9e823-bac2-4a73-8bd0-60bb7401eb80_----==============g74428037077132087=
