The brown at the base of the dormant bulb is troubling, so I recommend keeping an eye on it. You can soak that dormant one, just keep it warm until it dries.

Thanks haha, I just love them so much!

So I soaked it, but it hasn't really plumped back up or changed in any way from what I've noticed sadly. I don't want to risk anything else without checking with you guys first. It's still shriveled sadly

So the browning seems to have spread a little bit from the last picture I posted and now I'm a bit more concerned

Hi Learu,
I came on this thread last week and I have gone back to the beginning and worked forward til today's. In one of them you asked for ideas on what to do. Here's an idea: get a plant lightm or two, for each of your windows. I'm pretty sure you do not already have any.

Ya, the base of that bulb might be dying. Most likely won't spread to the rest of the plant, but keep an eye on it. If the base is clearly shriveling, you'll end up cutting the bulb and starting a new plant with the cut bulb. Frustrating, but nothing too concerning.
