Storage of Amorphophallus Bulbils

From: TM8TERS4U at aol.com on 2005.10.05 at 00:25:36(13393) So far this fall, I have harvested / recovered the leaf bulbils from five amorph species: A. variabilus A. bulbifer +More A. muelleri A. variabilus A. symonianus A. ???? These range in size from that of a pea, to a half dollar. For now, I have them in well ventilated perforated ziplock bags. Anyone have advice for storage and care, or planting them, either now or later? Thanks and Cheers!

From: "Ken Mosher" ken at spatulacity.com> on 2005.10.05 at 16:01:31(13396) Rick, Get them out of the plastic bags right away. Never store Amorphophallus tubers or offsets in a plastic bag, even ventillated. Put them in paper. Am. variabilis don't produce foliar bulbils to my knowledge so maybe you have a wrong id on the plant. +More -Ken ----- Original Message ----- From: TM8TERS4U@aol.com To: aroid-l@gizmoworks.com Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2005 8:25 PM Subject: [Aroid-l] Storage of Amorphophallus Bulbils So far this fall, I have harvested / recovered the leaf bulbils from five amorph species: A. variabilus A. bulbifer A. muelleri A. variabilus A. symonianus A. ????
