I have grown Placea to maturity from seed, but then lost most of my bulbs to
fungal disease, which seemed to be both stagonospora and some kind of basal
rot. I think you need to keep them absolutely bone dry when they are
dormant, and I am now growing them in pumice. I checked my almost mature
bulbs a week ago, and they look pretty good.
