Plieone Dormancy

The controlling factor for dormancy in Plieones is the temperature. This year's roots die off completely, so it really doesn't matter whether it is kept wet or dry.

Pity we haven't got a shot of the whole plant. But from your description, it sounds like a normal dying off of an old bulb as the new growth scavanges from the oldest leaves. For this reason, leave...

There is always going to be more distortion in zooms, but this is...
