amorphophallus titanum offset?

From: Jason Sarine <jasondsarine at hotmail.com> on 2011.01.26 at 20:04:51(21829) Oh here I was thinking it might be something special since everything I have read says they do not make offsets or divide. I guess there is always exceptions to the rules. I got my titanums from tindara orchids also so I am convinced they are correct. Not to mention they are huge! Thanks for the input guys!

The callused tuber or tubers would often produce clusters of plants rather than single plants. I am not sure if this is the case here but it maybe? +More _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

Cloning of our plant Perry would be well-received by Perry's fans, I think.

So far I have not seen that these plants keep a trait of producing offsets; once they grow as single corms/tubers they behave seedlings do. BTW, the far majority or in other words nearly all of the rooted buds develop into plantlets that behave and grow like seelings do. Happy growing, Bernhard. -----Original Message----- > Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2011 09:35:53 +0100 > Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] amorphophallus titanum offset? > From: Brian Williams > To: Discussion of aroids > I have seen offsets formed from TCed plants of Titanum in the past. > The callused tuber or tubers would often produce clusters of plants > rather than single plants.

From: Marco Motta <marco.giovanni.motta at gmail.com> on 2011.02.08 at 07:51:16(21888) Hi to all, I'm building a laminar flow for orchids sowing but sounds great the propagation of some of my most rare Amorphophallus. Someone could help me with detailed information about it, i. e. media to use, procedure and so on, here in Italy we use sigma Aldrich for culture media. Any suggestion, article or book will be appreciated.
