Amorph seedlings

From: Floral Artistry jjingram at pacbell.net> on 2001.08.15 at 03:28:57(7241) I got some of the seeds of Amorph. lewallei and the seedlings are showing some variation. One seedling has a reddish streaked stem and the others are pure green. Is this a variable species or ???????/ John Ingram +More jjingram@pacbell.net www.floralartistry.org Phone/Fax 323-650-9360

The only true way to identify these variable plants is by the flower ! Have had great success growing Psuedodracontium sp. using the leaf/petiole cutting method. I was amazed at the resultant tuber size after a few months . I must try some Amorphophallus cuttings ..
