Hi Ron,
Nope, your eyes deceive you because none of my plants are in the ground.
However, some people up here grow konjac in the ground; none of the rest
are really appropriate. I think this far north (CT) nematodes aren't really
a problem. If they were I might have troubles in my pots since my planting
mix is in direct contact with the ground before I use it.

Hi Ken & anyone else who reads this,
I looked at your fine pictures and noticed that the Amorphs are all in the ground. Do you have a nematode problem, or any other bulb rotting problems in Orlando? Do you leave all of the tubers in the ground? I live in Delray Beach and have been growing in tubs, but would rather grow in the ground , if it would work. I do have a regular sprinkler system for my other plants that are in the ground. Ron Kessler

Eric,
I've never seen an Amorph. koratensis with a smooth petiole, so if the
choices are between that and palawanensis then I vote for the latter.

Please help ID this Amorphophallus, I don't know if it
is A. karotensis or A. palawanensis. There was lots of
downed tree branches in the bed where this is growing
after the 3 hurricanes that struck last year. When the
debris was removed so were the signs and accession
tags. The plants are about 3 1/2 ft. tall and the
petioles are smooth. Here are some photos;
