Amorphophallus bulbifer
|
From: kk at netgate.net (Krzysztof Kozminski) on 1997.02.17 at 02:50:15(371)
I was rather surprised to see in Aroideana vol. 19, page 48, that
A.bulbifer tubers are not supposed to produce offsets. Mine sure do, every
year. Anyone else with the same observation?
Another thing: I presume that the number of leaves produced by the tubers
refers to the mature plants, and that juvenile seedlings can have more
leaves at the same time (e.g., A.titanum with 2-3 leaves, lasting several
months together) right, WIlbert?

KK,
Mine never have produced offsets from the tubers... only the foliage...

Dear Kris,
If you have a bulbifer that makes offsets, then you don't have a bulbifer!
Then again, maybe I am in for a surprise here. Has your plant ever flowered?
Does the leaf produce bulblets annually?
Yes, seedlings do indeed produce more leaves shortly after each other resulting
in small plants with more than one leaf!
Cheers, Wilbert

Dear Kris;
I have A. bulbifer from Tony A. and have nevr had a hint of an
ofset. The tuber increases in size each year and the leaves all produce
bulbils. It is obviously healthy and growing.
Are the offsetting clones of this species??

Yes, last year; this is the plant that had been initially suspected to be
A.muelleri due to my misinterpretation of what a `root scar' was, and had
been diagnosed as A.bulbifer only after you saw the photos.
>Does the leaf produce bulblets annually?
Yes, very much so (last time: 17 bulblets).
Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me, but I am reasonably sure that I
remember

digging up the tuber and thinking "well, if I planted these funny things
from the
leaf wrong side up and they do not sprout, the tuber offsets seem to be
sure bets."
In fact, until recently, I thought that all Amorphs produce tuber offsets,
and was displeased that A.ankarana did not (too small, I guess).
I'll just make sure to watch it really carefully this year.

Dear Kris,
I wouldn't be surprised if you DID plant leaf bulbils but I'll wait for
new observations then.

What makes you think Am. ankarana does NOT produce offsets? It DOES! Especially
well when it gets a little bit older.
Cheers, Wilbert

We have an inflorescense of Amorph. bulbifer with the spathe about 14"
high - huge - and the odor this a.m. is sour and strong. Since the spathe
is not quite fully open, I used my fingers to pollinate the pistillate
flowers and in reaching down into that huge spathe, the heat sink was
unbelievable. Here I was, stroking this huge spadix with my fingers,
feeling its heat...all in the name of science, of course.

Hello,
I have 2 bulbils of Amorphophallus bulbifer.
One of the leaves already withered, the other one is still green.
Please tell me what to do with the bulbils.
Should they go dormant as tubers
or to plant them immediately into soil and water them?
In other words should I treat them as tubers or as seeds?
Best,
Marek

Hiyer!
Treat them like dormant tubers.
Good luck!
