Ones that have been collected in tropical wet areas do not even seem to need a dormancy period! The ones I have had problems with are those collected in cooler/higher climates, Florida is NOT kind to them. I guess the word 'lots' can be interpreted in many ways!! Julius >>LOTS of Typhonium species are very hardy???????? O.k. Dr. Boos, enlighten us with names!!! Wilbert
