I saw that listing and it looks like something to avoid. Maybe it's
dead? Who would bid on a dormant shriveled corm of anything from a total
stranger. You can buy a t.c. titanum that is green and alive - why risk
this. And the info they provide is shaky.

Hi,

I just happened to see on ebay that somebody is offering a titanum
corm.
But it is stored dry, and the seller advises that too.  Now, Indonesia
is on
the equator, so it rains there all year round I'd say.  I also think I
read
several times that they cannot be stored dry.  Can anybody tell me the
facts? Thanks and have a nice day.

Regards,
Michael
