What you need is bright light and good soil like any other plants. A sort of small greenhouse is the best ofcourse. What i use is Cocopeat for soil and every now and then some fertilizer (Miracle Grow). Last year one of the A.muelleri's got about 200 % bigger due to 2 stems. The bulb's diamter wasabout 17 cm. (approx. 8 ") So i guess it liked it's soil and fertilizer. My other Amorpho's also do like this soil.

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" hetter at worldonline.nl> on 2002.03.31 at 17:05:49(8389) The species of which I know that they have been grown in a home succesfully are: A. konjac A. bulbifer A. beccarii A. johnsonii A. dunnii (A. odoratus) But I guess others may have more species to mention. Of these I would recommend to start with konjac and bulbifer when you are a newby.
