I`m by no means an expert on the growing of the 'voodoo lily', but since it is an aroid that does go dormant, I can offer the following tips/suggestions. It will 'go down' into dormancy once it gets cold enough where you live, and once the leaves start to turn yellow, cut way back then stop on the watering, and once all the leaves are withered and brown, remove the corm from the soil and store in a paper bag in a cool place, say on a garage shelf. Next spring, once W. Cen. Florida begins to warm up, the tuber must be checked regularly for signs of new growth, it will begin to put out either a bloom or new plant growth, and should be potted out at this time, start watering slowly at first, once the new plant has rooted in, begin a system of regular light fertilization. Enjoy! Good luck, and GOOD GROWING!
