Dear Friends,
Contary to common belief and most literature, A. titanum can be made to and
does produce offsets.

Craig Allen, who used to be at Fairchild Tropical Garden in Miami, and who
was one of if not THE best A. titanum grower who I know of, reported the
following on his cultivation methods for this species.
The artice appears in an older issue of 'Aroideana'. If you wanted a major
increase in tuber size and possible blooming (and who does not dream of
that!), you should use an over-sized potting container. By accident, Craig
found that if you under-potted a tuber of A. titanum in too small a pot, the
tuber would then grow in this constricted space, but oftentimes would split
into several/many offsets.

That first ebay plant is not a titanum, for sure. You can clearly see
scars from where offsets were removed and titanum doesn't produce offsets.
The tuber is so dirty I won't hazard an ID, but a dirty konjac could look
like that.

A konjac or something else?
Some titanum were offered around the time of the bloom of the triple
flower bud titanum in Bonn; some before the bloom in Bonn for 40 to 52
Euro and one after the bloom; that had some effect:

Hi Julius,
Yes, OK, but splitting into multiple smaller tubers is not the same as
producing offsets like the tuber in the photo did! That one had clearly
produced rhizomatous offsets. You're not saying titanum can be made to
do *that*, are you?

I am trying to help a fellow "plant nut" try to ID an anthurium in his
collection. This anthurium was once ID'd as Anthurium huixtlense, but based
on a photo of that plant on Dewey Fisk's website likely is not that specie.
As you can see, it is a large, upright type, not vining. The plant's owner
placed his hand in one photo for scale. The leaf is thick and is leather
like. The top lobes always seem to overlap on large leaves, not on smaller
ones. The leaf with the hand in the photo measured at not quite 2 ft long
and 13 inches wide. The plant is 4 feet tall from the soil level. The
plant is possibly found in nature in the Virgin Islands. Any help with an
ID would be appreciated.
