Theyā€™re so beautiful it just makes you want one however Iā€™d suggest checking the plant roots for a death plug. I got mine from a big box store and it had one on there. #### Sam replied on 2023-08-21 Same I got mine and while i was looking for corms i fond a death plug on all three pf mine #### Anna replied on 2023-08-23 Hey what do you mean by a dead plug? Iā€™ve never heard the term before! ### Queen Rat commented on 2023-08-20 A lot of people give up on these prematurely. They tend to lose a leaf whenever they grow a new one so for the first couple of years they might look a bit pathetic. They tend to like drying out before the next watering. Mine is in a bright, warm, humid south facing room out of the direct sun. I move it closer to window in winter. Its huge now and has flowered three times this year. Good luck, its a great plant. ### Alysia šŸŖ“ commented on 2023-08-20 So pretty šŸ’š --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com). Reading is open to everyone.
