I've augmented my indoor greenhouse SA plants with an array of LED's and it's made a large difference.  The light levels here in the northern hemisphere are so much less than what the light levels are in native habitat.

You can check here: https://www.gaisma.com/en/ for light level comparisons.

HI Xephre

 I would not water at all if there is no leaf growth.  You didn't mention if the bulbs were being switched to northern hemisphere time frame.

I received a bulb from SA during a time when the bulb should have been dormant for the northern hemisphere.  I kept it cool, under lights  and watered very little.  It was brought up into the greenhouse when our temperatures dropped outside.

Watering a dormant bulb can lead to root rot.

It's in a fairly large pot.  I water once per week.

I have a number of Arums that have suffered the same condition

Leaves yellow and wither,  I first thought it was due to the type of fertilizer I was using, but haven't use any on the pictured plant which is a hybrid of   Arum creticum  and Arum palaestinum created by a friend in Italy
Angelo Porcelli 

It's potted in a gritty mix with only about 20 percent commercial potting mix.

Lives in a cool greenhouse along side all my SA bulbs.

Any suggestions as to what's ailing the plant?

No it was made by Angel Porcelli in Italy.

I'm not sure which is the pod parent, though

Scilla peruviana
Lachenalia reflexa

The flowers of L. reflexa never seem to fully open above the top of the soil level.
