The one leaf left on my Alocasia Hilo died and while moving the body to the graveyard I found this.. so is the plant dormant or dead?

Could be dormant. How does the bulb feel? Is it solid or soft?

Solid

That’s good! It can grow again

Sooo do I put it back in a pot? Sorry this is new to me..

#### Mullein replied on 2024-02-26

No problem! Do you have a sense of what made it go dormant? Unusually low temps or light levels maybe?

#### Madderdebs replied on 2024-02-26

It wasn’t in the best shape when it arrived..2 leaves, one of which was damaged. Luckily I left it on because a new leaf popped out. Then that one died off, and a few months later the other and the newest one a few weeks ago. Has been in an E window on the mantle then moved to a SE window on the floor.. so could be anything I guess
