The plant may go dormant and the tuber should be kept completely dry in a cool dry spot, in January each year give the plant a good soak for 24 hours and then plant the caudex on top of the soil, pushing gently and firmly so the plant makes contact with the soil. After a few weeks, the plant will slowly wake up. 
 
General care is very simple, the plant likes good light and humidity. The tuber stores water well so it doesn't require a great deal of watering, in fact too much watering or sitting in damp soil will rot the plant. Use our tropical plant dew and spray the plant regularly to keep it in top condition.
