Strange Amorphophallus Titanum Growth

From: Jason Sarine <jasondsarine at hotmail.com> on 2010.02.10 at 19:13:22(20563) My Titanum is about ready to leaf out and it has developed a strange growth.  It started out right at the base and now several inches have been added below it.  When it first appeared it looked a little open, but has since scabed over and left a scar and a swollen area.  Anyone have any ideas what could have caused it?  It looks healthy otherwise.  Thanks.

From: Brian Williams <pugturd at windstream.net> on 2010.02.15 at 09:25:21(20593) This growth could just be an injury on the stem being healed. It does however remind me of a strange phenomenon I recorded last year of a Colocaisa which was producing similar odd growths on the stems. This odd growth swelled in the stem and eventually split the stem. once split a new leaf formed out of the opening. I later found that a tuber had formed in the stem causing the swelling. This variety of Colocasia seems to be the only one I have seen that produces these mutations and it is very erratic. Possibly ideal growing situations are at hand. +More _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
