Duncan states that L. multiflora is marzipan scented.

Any scent?

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?
