Re: [Aroid-l] Strange white mold/spots on amorphophallus tubers

Mealy bugs: if you store them in dark, damp locales they can be a problem: if a real concern, a little malathion drench will take care of it.On Sep 30, 2009, at 1:29 PM, David wrote: Hello fellow aroiders!
Recently, I noticed an odd problem with my amorphophallus tubers - they started growing mold. At first, I thought it was just small specs of perlite and I brushed it off, and put it into storage for their dormant period. I check them once a week, just in case of anything, and I noticed it was back, but much more. I brushed it off, and it was this odd fluff (best way to describe it) and it spread to the other tubers as well. I checked, and the tubers are not soft and seem just fine except this odd fluff-like white mold that is growing on the surface of them. I'm not sure what it is, or how to get rid of it. Any ideas?
I also attached some pictures I took of said "fluff" mold.
Thanks!
