They seem to really like a LOT of sun at Bobby`s place, they then produce very 'stout' and beautiful petioles, not long and thin like I`ve seen in some green-house grown plants of this. Petra---a couple years ago I came across a 'stray' Amorphophallus sp. leaf growing out of a 45 gal pot at a tree-farm, the owner had NO idea what it was or how it got there, I tried to dig it out w/ my finger, but ended up destroying the tuber as it was well-knotted in the pot-bound tree roots---the interesting thing was that it stained my hand a bright violet-purple! Never discovered what species it was! See you Sat!!
