Hey Y'all.

I need some help.  Today I received a ciliatum var. liubaense purchased =through ebay.  To my horror, what I received is an actively growing =tuber that has been decapitated.  The soil was washed from its roots, =and the cut pseudostem is still fresh.  I have no idea where in the =growth cycle the plant is, but I'll obviously not see anything out of =this plant until next spring assuming it can take this kind of =treatment.

I've never received or done something like this to an Arisaema.  =Needless to say, if I had known I'd be receiving something like this I =would have never bid on it.  Do I plant it and hold my breath until next =spring (which really hacks me off) or return it?  I can't imagine this =being a good way to send any tuber or bulb, is it a goner?

Thanks,

Russell
