I've stored mine bare at room temp (70F/21C) as well as in 20 gallon pots of soil stored in my basement at 59-55F (10-13C). They seem to do quite well either way. They bloom, if large enough (4 inch/10 cm diameter), for me in March. When the amorphophallus bloom, can Spring be far behind? -- Don Martinson +More Milwaukee, Wisconsin Mailto:llmen@wi.rr.com
