I was prepared for the corms to be wrapped in wet paper toweling or newspaper, with areas of rot and/or fungus, that would need to be trimmed away, but instead the corms are just totally, completely, and purposely dry. Is this the normal procedure for long duration shipping?

So... do I just stick them in a pot with soil and add water, or is there something special I should do?

Thanks in advance for any information or advice!
