Amorph turning yellow!

From: "Adao Pereira" miguelporto at mail.telepac.pt> on 2000.10.02 at 19:56:49(5502) Hello to all of you! Now, apart from Alocasias (I didn't expect so much feedback on this matter!)... +More my Amorph. paeoniifolius is turning yellow!!! What's the problem?? The leaf (1 meter wide) is only two months old, is it normal to die at this point? It is yellow on the upper side, and brownish on the underside. Can it be any kind of illness? The temperatures are still warm... How long does an Amorph leaf live? Regards, Miguel

From: mburack at mindspring.com on 2000.10.03 at 15:30:02(5503) 2 months is too short for paeon. Prob. is rot on the tuber or fungal infection on the leaf...it happens sometimes, but the tuber will prob. be ok.... AS SOON as the leaf fully dies back take the tuber out of the soil to check if there is any rot... > Hello to all of you!

Now paeoniifolius is a strong beast but only two months of growth is erratic. Brown undersides of leaves doesn't sound good either. Is there a small animal working it? May have to look closely with a hand lense. There is a way around this but not without risk: if you are sure the leaf is going to die, boost the plant with a fertiliser and that may incite it to produce a new leaf. Normally an Amorphophallus will retain a leaf from 6 months (quickies) to 18 months (big'uns like titanum).
