Richard has one form me for about 5 years now. still hasn't fruited. Likes it warmer but I think a moist warmer. Hates the cold.

I know you are looking for corms but I do still have some ceylons and a new batch of sweethearts that are nicely rooted.
I’ll probably order another set at the end of March if I can’t find some more developed. We are still having nights in the low 40s and days in the 70-80s so the TCs need Extra care until our temps stabilize. The sweetheart is growing nicely but it is on a seed heating mat in bright window sunlight to pump it up before going outside. My larger TCs are outside in my winter greenhouse but the corms and pups are already in the ground and happy.
