I bought a variegated amorphophallus last year from eBay. It was sinfully $$ for a tiny bulb. Well the good news is I haven't rotted it. But it has been in its little pot for months and not a sign of growth.

Should I keep it totally dry?
Should I cover it up again with soil?
Should I have it in the shade or sun?
Should I bag it for humidity? Here is dry and on the cool side. Day temps inthe 70s, night temps inthe 50s.
Should I kick my big butt for buying it in the first place?

It is in the middle of the pot peeking thru.
