Hello Corey, I am a brand new member as of today. I started browsing and found your posting of Oct 28, 2004. "Does anyone know if this Mexican species is evergreen or deciduous? I just received a bulb in the mail and it appears to be alive and healthy but completely dormant. Will it need any special treatment?" I would love to know from what company you bought the bulb from. I had one a friend gave me and it died. I also am looking for Spiders Tropical Giant and Sister of Tropical Giant I will really appreciate your help.
