I recall that several years ago some seed that were SAID to be of A. giganteus were distributed, but there were many doubts as to their authenticity, and many said that they were just seeds of A. difformis. Do you know the source of your plant??? As far as I am aware, true A. giganteus is not in cultivation at this time, I stand to be corrected on this statement!! Wilbert??? When it blooms, it should be not too difficult to tell if it is A. difformis, A. giganteus or another species. A. difformis grows well in a jungle-mix of soil w/ a little sand added. Good Growing! Julius +More Hello all, my Anchomanes giganteus seems to sprout after nearly 7 months!! IAS means that most times this is just an Anch.difformis. Neverthless does anyone know anything about the culture? Currently its start sprouting in an 8 cm pot. thanks Peter<< --------------------------------------------------------------------------- treeferns & aroids: http://www.baumfarn.at/treefern (http://www.baumfarn.at) --------------------------------------------------- Amorphophallus network: http://www.amorphophallus.baumfarn.at/ _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
